This step aligns with Lime’s mission to remove financial barriers to education and empower families to invest in their children’s academic journey through accessible, clear financing.

Under this agreement, Lime joins UH-GAF as a trusted specialized partner in education financing—offering a seamless experience through its FRA-approved platform.
