Chaptr Global provides income share agreement (ISA) financing for students and parents by partnering with schools to cover tuition costs upfront. Learners can defer payment until they secure employment or choose extended, low‑interest installment plans, aligning repayment with their earning capacity. The company generates revenue through a percentage of future earnings or interest on the financed amounts, offering an alternative to traditional student loans.

Problem
Many students in Africa face significant financial barriers to accessing quality education, particularly in vocational and technical fields. Upfront tuition costs can be prohibitive, preventing talented individuals from enrolling in programs that could improve their economic prospects.
Solution
Chaptr provides a deferred-tuition payment architecture that enables students to enroll in educational programs, such as coding schools and vocational training, and pay their tuition over time or as a percentage of their future income. By partnering with educational institutions, Chaptr removes the immediate financial burden, allowing students to focus on their studies and career development. This approach expands access to education and aligns the cost of learning with a student's ability to pay after graduation. Chaptr also offers schools and funders the ability to invest in and manage deferred tuition financing.
Target Audience
Chaptr primarily serves students in Africa seeking vocational and technical education, as well as educational institutions and funders interested in offering or investing in deferred tuition payment options.
