About

Funding U has upended the FICO-based lending model by focusing on students’ academic performance, not the trappings of generational wealth. Through its groundbreaking SMaRT™ analysis, which focuses on noncredit factors within students’ control, Funding U provides “last gap” microloans of $3,000 to $10,000 to low-income families
