Covering the cost of the program
Learners who are not sponsored by an employer can choose to pay upfront in full or apply for Ascent Funding’s Zero Percent Loan. See below for Ascent’s key information about the Zero Percent Loan, and visit their website for more detailed information.
Click HERE for a video overview of what you can expect with Ascent’s Zero Percent Loan. Click HERE to learn more on Ascent’s website.
You have four weeks to choose the option that works best for you.
If you withdraw prior to Week 5, you will owe nothing, and after Week 5, you will pay for the portion of the program you have completed. For complete information on our refunds, click here.
So you know what to expect during these first four weeks, here is the process you’ll follow to either pay upfront in full or to sign up for a Zero Percent Loan. We’ve included where you’ll complete each step or find information, and all emails will come from success-sharing@meritamerica.org
You are protected by our Merit America Guarantee
At Merit America, our primary goal is to generate wage gains for learners, in careers they love. We’re so confident in our program that we promise that if you still don’t earn at least $40k within two years of completing the Immersion phase, you don’t have to pay. If you qualify, fulfill the requirements, and still don’t earn at least $40,000 a year (or $3,333.33 a month) at any time within two years after completing the Immersion phase, you may be eligible for a full refund or cancellation of your loan.
