Keep your future in CyberSecurity locked in.
You're not alone. Funding gaps at the finish line are more common than most people admit. This program exists because Global Lynx believes one missing piece of financing shouldn't cost you your career in cybersecurity.
How It Works
The ISL Program made available through Clasp¹ offers flexible financing so you can focus on learning now and paying later.
Apply for an ISL
The application process on the Clasp platform takes about 20 minutes and you'll need your program name and cohort date, your amount of financial need and one reference/communication contact.
Enjoy Your Program
The ISL is deferred until you graduate so you can focus on classes instead of costs.
Start Making Payments
After you graduate, you just set up your servicing account with your servicer and start making payments!
The gap ends here
Cybersecurity needs people from every background, every zip code, and every walk of life. The industry is stronger when the people protecting it reflect the world they're protecting.
That's why Global Lynx partnered with Clasp to create this program. Not as a last resort, but as a commitment. A commitment that if you've done the work to get here, found your grants, applied for your aid, and still landed short, we're not going to let that be the end of your story.
Funding gaps are common. They're also fixable. And no student who is ready to build a career in cybersecurity should have to walk away because of one.
What is an ISL?
An ISL is a contract in which a student receives educational funding in exchange for an agreed-upon percentage of future income over a defined period of time.
Students accepted into the ISL program made available through Clasp¹ will first complete their program at Global Lynx. Then, only once they've left the program and are earning at least the minimum income threshold, they’ll start paying back a monthly percentage of their income over the course of their payment period.²

What Happens After Graduation?
Here's exactly what happens next — no surprises.
We want you to go into this with total clarity. No hidden terms. No gotchas. Here's how repayment works after you graduate.
Graduate
No payments during school — none. Your only job while enrolled is to focus on your program and graduate.
Grace Period
You'll have a 3 month grace period² after graduation before your first payment is due, giving you time to settle before anything is expected of you financially.
Keep us in the loop
This is an Income Share Loan. Your payments are tied to your income, and there is a minimum income threshold — if you're earning below it, let us know!
Finish making payments
Your total repayment is capped. Once you've made 36 monthly payments, reached the maximum repayment amount, or reached the maximum implied APR, whichever comes first, your obligation is fully satisfied.²
Frequently Asked Questions
¹ Loans may be issued by Clasp or FinWise Bank, a Utah-chartered bank, Member FDIC. All loans are subject to individual approval and adherence to underwriting guidelines. Program restrictions, other terms, and conditions apply.
² The effective Income Share Percentage (“ISP”) on your Income Share Loan (“ISL”) is a fixed percentage of your monthly gross-income and will range between 1.17% - 3.50% for a period of 36 months after the beginning of your payment term. Monthly payments are required and will vary greatly in amount because they depend on your specific ISP and your reported monthly gross-income. Monthly repayment amount is based on your designated ISP and monthly gross-income, not an Annual Percentage Rate (“APR”); the APR you actually pay will be dependent on your actual ISP and gross-income for the entire duration of the loan repayment period.
To help illustrate how much you might pay on your ISP, we are providing the following example showing the total monthly payments for loans that have the maximum ISP. For this example, we are assuming an ISP of 3.50% (highest possible ISP), amount financed of $7,500.00, 36-month repayment period, and 3 months until graduation plus 3-month grace period. If your salary started at $95,000.00 and didn’t increase over the next 36 months, your monthly payments would be $277.08 per month and would end after making total overall payments of $9,974.88 over 36 months, with an APR of 14.43%. Note: The number of months until graduation used to estimate the payment schedule above may not be applicable to you.
For this example, your total monthly payments would end after 36 months even though you would not have reached the Maximum Implied Annual Percentage Rate of 21.00%, because you have reached the Maximum Repayment Months first, assuming that you have no deferrals or other pauses to your payments. You may repay more or less than the amount you received, depending on your specific circumstances. Your loan has a maximum payment period of 36 months inclusive of any months where monthly payments are made as well as any months that are deferred months after you leave or graduate from your program.
³ There is no credit check required to receive a quote. If you choose to submit an application for funding, a hard credit pull will be performed at that time. Your credit score or history isn't the only thing that decides your approval or denial, but your credit will be checked.
