We recognize that price point sucks internationally, but until we expand into each market with income verification and regulatory backing we can’t roll out our existing model. We’re working on the UK now, then will begin other countries. I’m really sorry it’s not an attractive offer outside the US yet; we’re only 18 months old and have relatively high costs because we pay expensive instructors a lot. We’ll get there.

Yeah, my partner recently had to turn down a place at lambda for this reason. Hopefully you can sort the UK soon!

Am open to other payment models internationally in the meantime, but frankly we can only handle a tiny fraction of student demand in the US right now. Sorry it didn’t work for them yet!

Can you expand ? How does one get tuition back if you just leave to xyz country ?

Lambda School is $0 upfront for US citizens, but we can’t yet support a $0 upfront model for folks outside the US yet.

It’s a play for federal student loan money pure and simple. Odd that anyone would think otherwise? Edit; non subsidized then?

We don’t get and won’t seek federal student loan money.

In response to the edit: No Lambda School student has, to my knowledge, ever paid for tuition with a loan of any kind, nor have we ever received any money from the government.

Doesn't need to be federal loans. The educational loan market is huge, and immune to bankruptcy.
