Our partnerships are built on shared values, ethical collaboration, and a commitment to creating lasting opportunities through accessible education.

Support Education, Create Lasting Impact

GFE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Waiser, a certified B Corp and member of the Global ISA Alliance. Together, we support a fair and proven Pay-It-Forward (PIF) model that is more efficient, more affordable, and built on transparency and trust between students, institutions, and funders. Every contribution can support 2X to 10X more students compared to traditional financing models, helping students stay in school and complete their studies.

How Funding Works To Our Process

How Funding Works

How we choose students

We align student support with your tax needs and impact mandate. Your contribution goes directly to verified students and educational institutions based on assessed education needs. We apply strict KYC checks and customize each PIF contract to the needs and potential of every student, supported by Waiser’s AI-powered tools.

How we choose schools

We perform a strict due diligence to select education institutions and training partners that have proven employment outcomes or clear future potential. If the partners are not meeting our employment expectations, we discontinue partnerships. If partners show sustained students success we allocate more capital to their students.

How we manage risk

Through Waiser’s scalable model, funding is extended across multiple students to maximize reach, diversify risk, and maximize overall impact.

Why ethical financing

Ethical financing matters because education should open doors, not create lifelong financial strain. It ensures students can access learning based on opportunity and outcomes, while keeping terms fair and transparent for everyone involved.

Sustainable Cycle

As students progress, the Pay-It-Forward model helps reinvest support into future learners.

Quick Answers

Pay-It-Forward (PIF) is an income share agreement that covers your education costs upfront, so you can focus on studying without financial pressure. After graduation, contribution begins once you start earning, and you simply contribute a small, agreed percentage of your monthly income for a set period of time.

You may apply if you are 18 years or older, able to understand English, and in need of financial support to pursue or continue your education. All applications are subject to eligibility review.

PIF helps cover essential student expenses so you can focus on your studies. This includes academic costs like tuition, enrollment, program fees, and required learning materials, as well as everyday living expenses such as food, transportation, and basic personal needs. It may also support housing costs, including dorm fees, rent, or approved accommodation during your studies.

No. PIF is neither a traditional scholarship nor a loan. It provides upfront funding for your studies, and after graduation, you contribute a small percentage of your income for a set period once you start earning.

The application is free to submit and fully online. Just complete the form on our website to get started.

Before applying, please prepare the following: • Completed Application & Budget Form – Fill out all required details accurately and completely. • Valid ID (Student or Government ID) – Any official ID showing your full name (e.g., student ID, national ID, or passport). • Proof of Enrollment or Admission – An official document confirming you are currently enrolled in or accepted by your school. • Character Reference – A person who can vouch for your character and may be contacted during the review process (make sure they're informed and agree to be listed).
