No. The Opportunity for All program is for Merit America learners who were denied the Zero Percent Loan from Ascent due to debt or collections and are unable to cover their costs through the currently available payment options, such as employer sponsorship or upfront payment.

If you were denied the Zero Percent Loan from Ascent due to visa requirements or citizenship, you can defer to a future cohort once you meet the eligibility requirements for the Zero Percent Loan outlined here. If you’d like to stay in your program, you can cover your costs via one full upfront payment by the end of Week 4.
