Scholarship funding and education finance for institutions and programs

Westford's scholarships and education funding helps universities, foundations, employers and sponsors launch or expand scholarship programs, fund campuses and build student housing. Facilities are structured so repayment starts after programs are established, protecting students from disruption.

Funding runs from USD 50,000 to USD 10 million with tenors of up to 15 years and some of the lowest indicative rates in our product range. Note that we fund institutions and programs; we do not offer individual consumer student loans.
