Our story
EdAid was founded to help break down financial barriers to high-quality education.
Our CEO and Founder, Tom Woolf, experienced first-hand the frustration of a high-quality education program only being payable upfront, and years later, EdAid carries that same ethos, motivated by a desire to reach students who may otherwise have missed out on education opportunities.
We are driven by a broader purpose - to make education accessible and affordable. This means that we put the student at the heart of everything we do, and are committed to continuously improving the service we provide.
Backing the 99%
We have built EdAid to level the playing field for talented, ambitious students to access affordable higher education, & showcase their potential to future employers
Our values serve as the guiding principles that shape EdAid’s organisational culture, behaviour, and decision-making processes. They help establish a strong foundation of trust with customers, partners, and the broader community. Our commitment to these values reflects our dedication to providing not just financial solutions, but also contributing to the greater good of society.
Transparency
No nasty small print. Just simple, fair finance.
Community
Collaboration with education providers and students.
Prosperity
Economic and social empowerment through education.

What We Do
EdAid provides payment plan solutions for students unable to gain access to traditional funding opportunities to pursue their education.
We work directly with Education Providers across a diverse range of sectors and industries to help split tuition payments into affordable instalments, with no interest, hidden fees or nasty small print.
We put the power directly in the Student and Education Provider’s hands to increase access in turn increasing enrolment numbers per cohort and facilitating a more diverse student body.
