Reduce US Student Debt Through Employer Funding
Student debt, unfilled jobs, and broken funding systems keep millions from realizing their potential.
EFFA exists to change that — connecting universities and employers through a platform that makes education truly pay off.
The System Wasn't Built to Work for Everyone
For decades, tuition assistance was designed backwards:
- ✓Employees couldn't afford to pay upfront
- ✓Employers couldn't measure results
- ✓Universities couldn't scale partnerships without intermediaries taking huge cuts
The result? Billions wasted, millions missing out on opportunity — and a gap between learning and earning.
Our Mission
We're on a mission to reduce student debt and rebuild America's talent pipeline by making employer-funded tuition work — enabling real-time control and measurable ROI for employers, universities, and every learner who dreams of a better job and a better life.
EFFA is the platform where higher ed and industry transact — enabling:
- ✓Employers: Real-time control and measurable ROI
- ✓Universities: Scalable partnerships and faster employer funding
- ✓Learners: Lower debt, clearer career paths, faster job outcomes
