About
Meritize is a fintech lender that provides skills-based educational financing by evaluating borrowers on academic and military merit in addition to traditional credit scores, giving non-traditional students improved access to loan options. Founded in 2016 by CEO Chris Keaveney and headquartered in Frisco, Texas, Meritize partners with vocational schools, trade programs, and coding bootcamps to fund students pursuing careers in skilled trades and technical fields. Unlike conventional student loan providers, Meritize's merit-based underwriting model is designed to expand credit access for middle-skill workers who might otherwise be excluded from educational financing.
