COMMON LANGUAGE
Shared terms both sides understand.
Programs, rates and eligibility are defined once, the same way for the school and the employer.
EMPLOYER-FUNDED EDUCATION
Make employer-funded education work for employers and schools.
One platform for employers and schools managing employer-funded education.
FOR EMPLOYERS
Make your education benefit actually work.
Fund your employees' education with every partner school through one platform. EFFA is paid by schools through a small transaction fee, so it costs your company nothing beyond the tuition you fund.
Explore EFFA for employers →FOR SCHOOLS
Grow enrollment through employer partnerships.
Turn employer relationships into a steady source of funded students. Agree terms once, bill employers directly and get paid as soon as they approve.
Explore EFFA for schools →Common Language, Common Process, and Real-Time Unified Data.
Employer-funded education breaks down when every school and employer works differently. EFFA puts both sides on the same terms, the same steps and the same data.
COMMON PROCESS
One workflow from agreement to payment.
Agree terms, confirm eligibility, approve invoices and pay, in the same steps every time.
REAL-TIME UNIFIED DATA
Everyone sees the same status.
Schools, employers and employees see where every invoice and payment stands, as it happens.
Tuition benefits that are simple for employers and employees to run, and simple for schools to bill.
Employers pay EFFA nothing and fund only the tuition they choose to fund. Schools pay a small transaction fee on direct-bill settlement, 3.5% standard, netted from the payout.
Employers can be set up in about 60 minutes: an account, a bank link and confirming terms. No IT, SSO or HRIS integration.
