Crowdfunding for education
Lite Tuition lets students raise tuition from family, friends, and supporters around the world — and every contribution goes directly to your school. No loans. No debt.
What we're about
Education should be within reach for everyone — not a debt sentence. Lite Tuition is a social-tech platform built by former students to help current and future students reach the finish line of their educational journey, without the burden of loans.
Make higher education accessible to all who seek it — by turning a community of supporters into tuition that reaches the school directly.
Pave the way for students to earn a degree without the weight of debt, so you can focus on learning with peace of mind.
We're former students helping current and future students cross the finish line — paying it forward, one campaign at a time.
How it works
Three steps from sign-up to funds in your school's hands.
Sign up free and showcase the unique story of your path to higher education — no credit card, nothing out of pocket.
Share your campaign with family, friends, and supporters all around the world. Active sharing is what raises funds.
Contributions are sent directly to your school and applied to tuition — so supporters know exactly where their gift goes.
Who it's for
Don't wait until college to start. Begin raising funds for your education journey as early as grade school.
Funds raised on our platform can help as you complete trade school and launch a skilled career.
No matter the degree, Lite Tuition is here for your post-secondary journey — associate's through doctorate.
Why it matters
For too many people, paying for school means loans that follow them for years. We built Lite Tuition so a community can lift that weight — before it ever lands.
After 160 payments totaling roughly $135,000 toward her student loans, about $100,000 went to interest alone — and her balance still sat near $96,000.
A community paying it forward
Find a student whose story moves you and give any amount — as a guest or a free account. Funds go straight to their school.
Most supporters discover campaigns by word-of-mouth. Share a student's campaign with your network and multiply its reach.
Churches, businesses, and community groups can use Lite Tuition to organize giving and increase their collective impact.
Simple, honest pricing
Students never pay a cent out of pocket. Lite Tuition takes a 5% platform fee of the funds contributed by supporters, per campaign, plus the payment processor's 2.99% + $0.49 per contribution, charged by the payment processor.
