Get your degree funded, or fund someone's.
Irtisen connects students who've earned a place but can't cover tuition with funders who want to pay it forward. Money sits in a safeguarded balance and goes straight to the university when term begins, never through anyone's pocket.
Whichever side you're on, the path is short.
Students apply and wait to be matched. Funders browse and commit. Irtisen does the holding, the paperwork and the payout.
You got in. Let's get it paid.
Already accepted somewhere and short on tuition? Tell us your story and the figure from your offer letter. Once a funder commits, the money is paid straight to your university.
- Apply in one form with your offer letter and ID
- Your contact details and identity stay private from funders
- No loan, no repayment, no interest
- Upload a transcript each term to keep funding flowing

- Browse anonymised students by field, school and need
- Shortlist freely, commit only when you choose
- Funds held safely until paid direct to the university
- Term reports confirm your students are enrolled
From application to a paid semester.
Four steps for a student. Funders meet them at step three.
Apply & verify
The student submits their bio, offer letter and the tuition figure. Irtisen reviews by hand and signs the agreement.
Go live to funders
An approved student appears in the directory by an anonymous code, with their story and financials but no personal details.
A funder commits
A funder shortlists, then pays the exact tuition. The money lands in a safeguarded balance, not the student's hands.
University gets paid
When term starts, Irtisen sends tuition straight to the school and records the receipt. The student just enrols.
Held safely. Spent only on tuition.
A funder's payment never touches a student's account. It stays in a safeguarded balance and is released as a direct payment to the university at the start of the semester, with a receipt on file for both sides.
Safeguarded balance
Funds are held in custody from the moment a funder pays until the day tuition is due.
Paid to the school
Disbursed directly to the university by bank transfer, never routed through the student.
Private by default
Funders see a story and a number. Names, photos and contact details stay sealed.
Receipts both ways
Every commitment and payout is recorded, so funders and students can see the trail.
The things people ask first.
Is this a loan?
No. Students receive funding, not debt. There's nothing to repay and no interest.
Can a funder pick the student?
Yes. Funders browse anonymised profiles and choose who to back. They commit only when they pay.
Does money go to the student?
Never directly. It's held safely and paid to the university at the start of term.
What do funders see?
A student's story, field, university and the tuition needed. No names, photos or contact details.
Who can become a funder?
Individuals and organisations, after a short verification. Apply and we'll get you set up.
What does it cost a student?
Nothing. Applying and being funded is free for students.
Questions before you start?
Tell us whether you're a student, a funder or a university and we'll point you the right way.
A semester's tuition is one decision away.
Whether you need funding or want to give it, you can start in minutes. See the whole platform before you commit.
