Create your campaign
Tell your story in minutes. Add your goal, your school, and what you're working toward, we'll help you make it shine.
Share with your community
Send your campaign to family, friends, and your network. Every share reaches new supporters who want to help you.
Get funded, debt-free
Money raised goes toward your education, not a loan. Supporters give securely through PayPal, and you keep more of every dollar.
Students everywhere are reaching their goals
Real students, real support, and a community that's only getting started.
Everything you need to reach your goal
A platform built around you, your story, your education, and a community that wants to help.
No loans, no interest
What you raise is support from your community, never a loan. There's nothing to pay back and no interest, ever.
Built for education
Not a generic donation page. Lite Tuition is purpose-built for tuition, books, housing, and the real costs of learning.
Keep more of every gift
Our low-overhead platform is designed so more of what's raised actually reaches you and your education.
Trusted & secure
Every campaign is reviewed by our team before it goes live, and funds are released only to a verified school, so everyone who believes in you can give with confidence.
Your story, your voice
Make your campaign personal with photos and your own words. It's your journey, we just give you the tools.
Real human support
We're former students ourselves. Our team is here to help your campaign succeed, every step of the way.
Whatever your education costs
Lite Tuition covers the real expenses of being a student, not just the obvious ones.
Tuition & fees
Classes, enrollment, and the fees that stack up each term.
Books & supplies
Textbooks and the course materials your classes require.
Housing & meal plans
On-campus housing, dorm fees, and the meal plan your school bills for.
Tech & labs
Course software, lab kits, and the technology and lab fees your program charges.
Turn celebrations into their education fund
Graduations, birthdays, and big milestones are the perfect time to ask for something that lasts. Instead of gifts that end up in a closet, guests can give toward their tuition.
Graduation parties
Skip the gift cards and the clutter. Ask guests to give toward the next tuition bill, so the celebration helps the graduate keep going.
Birthday parties
For a child at a tuition-based school, ask guests to chip in on this year's or next year's tuition instead of more toys they will outgrow.
Holidays and milestones
When relatives ask what to give, point them to something that lasts, a gift toward the education they are working toward.

Read our storyAnswers, before you ask
No. Lite Tuition is a fundraising platform, not a lender. Money you raise through your campaign is support from your community, there is nothing to pay back and no interest.
Any student pursuing their education can start a campaign, from community college to university to graduate school, across 3,300+ schools.
It's free to create your campaign, and you never pay anything up front. Lite Tuition keeps a flat 5% of each gift and PayPal charges its own processing fee, both of which come out of the gift rather than your pocket. Supporters can choose to cover them, so the full amount reaches your school.
Supporters give securely online through your campaign page with PayPal. Payments are encrypted, every campaign is reviewed by our team before it goes live, and funds are released only to a verified school, so everyone can give with confidence.
