Lambda School grads are hired by thousands of companies of all sizes, from the fortune 100 to new start ups
Our ISA is an investment in you.
Most schools make money regardless of whether or not their students succeed. Lambda School takes a different approach. We'll cover the cost of your upfront tuition and you'll pay us back 17% of your income for two years once you're earning an annual income of $50,000 or more.The Lambda School Income Share Agreement at a glance:
Lambda School covers your tuition until you're making at least $50,000 a year. There's no down payment.
Once you’re hired, you’ll start making monthly payments based on your income. If your annual income dips below $50,000 for any reason, payments are automatically paused.
Payments end once you’ve reached the $30,000 cap or your payment schedule ends – whichever comes first.
