What you can offer

More for your workforce. Without raising salaries.

Start with Summer Core. For about the cost of a coffee per person, employees save thousands. From there, the right combination depends on what you're trying to accomplish: retention, upskilling, recruitment, or a mix. Most partners pick two or three programs together.

  • Summer Core

    Free up your HR team to focus on people

    Help your employees access reduced payments and/or loan forgiveness through federal and state repayment programs. Personalized 1:1 expert support. Plan-for-college tools for their kids. Free to your workforce.

  • Employer Student Loan Contribution

    Best for: A raise without giving a raise

    Your most direct retention lever. Contributions are tax-advantaged, so your benefits dollar goes further here than almost anywhere else you could put it.

  • Student Loan Retirement Match

    Best for: Benefits that reach everyone

    Boost the value of your 401K program for non-highly compensated employees (NHCEs). Treat employees' student loan payments as if they were elective deferrals to your company’s plan, so your match can reach those who otherwise wouldn’t qualify for it.

  • Tuition Reimbursement

    Best for: Upskilling & mobility

    Build talent instead of buying it. Pay for the skills you need next, and the people you want to keep stay to grow into them.

Building a benefit employees actually use

Fairlife partnered with Summer to equip their team with the tools and support needed to reduce the burden of student debt. Through this partnership, employees get connected to government programs designed to lower monthly payments, and received employer contributions that directly reduce their loan balance*

“Summer is a hugely popular benefit in our organization. We always receive a ton of positive feedback — the platform is frequently praised for its ease of use.”

How a partnership works

Built for whatever you're solving for

Summer fits into your benefits stack and pays off on whatever brought you here. Here's what every engagement delivers.

Bring the best people in. 
Keep them once they're here

74% of employees would leave for an employer with better financial benefits. Summer is exactly that benefit. Employers using us see a 20% reduction in turnover, without raising salaries.

Show real financial outcomes, not slogans

Maximize your benefits budget. Employees who use Summer save an average of $45,000 per person. We're the only partner who guarantees results, or your money back.

Free up your HR team to focus on people

Student loan policy is a maze. We've spent years memorizing every turn, so your HR team handles the people, and we handle the paperwork, eligibility math, and servicer phone calls.

The employees you’ll reach

Employees save. Everything else follows.

Behind every statistic is a real person on your team — Someone who decided to stay. Someone who can finally save for the future. Someone who isn’t lying awake worrying about debt anymore.

The summer guarantee

If Summer doesn't 
deliver savings, you get your money back*

We're the only student loan support partner that guarantees results. No long procurement cycles, no IT lift, no risk to your budget. Most partnerships go live in weeks, not quarters.
