Equipment Financing

    Equipment Financing for Trade School Students

    Welding rigs, aviation headsets, cosmetology kits, HVAC tools, hands-on programs require expensive equipment from day one. A LoanAmerica tuition loan can include the gear you need alongside your tuition.

    Day-One Ready

    Many trade programs require students to have their own tools and equipment before the first class. These costs, often $2,000-$7,500, aren't always covered by tuition or financial aid.

    A GapBridge Tuition Loan can include the specific tools, kits, and supplies your program requires, so one application covers your full cost of starting.
