Nexford University's "Invite Your Sponsor to Pay" feature makes it easy for a third party—such as an employer, organization, family member, or friend—to contribute towards or cover your tuition fees.

How it Works for Students

1. When to Invite: You can utilize this option during your initial enrollment process in ApplyNXU or at any time when you choose to "Top Up" your Wallet in the myNXU portal.
2. Provide Sponsor Details: You will be prompted to enter your sponsor's information, primarily their name and email address.
3. Automatic Invitation: Once you submit these details, an email containing an invoice or a payment request, along with a secure payment link, is automatically sent to your sponsor.

How it Works for Sponsors

• Receive Payment Email: Sponsors will receive an email from Nexford University (or our payment processing partner) which includes the payment details and a unique, secure link to make a payment.
• Easy and Secure Payment: By clicking the link, sponsors can make a payment directly without needing to create or log into a Nexford account.
• Flexible Contribution: The system typically allows sponsors to enter the specific amount they wish to contribute towards your tuition.
• Multiple Payment Methods: Various payment methods are usually available, such as credit card, bank transfer, or other local options (often facilitated by partners like Flywire or Flutterwave, depending on the sponsor's region).
• Direct Application: Payments made by the sponsor are applied directly to your Nexford student account balance.

Important Information & Troubleshooting

• Payment Processing Time: Please allow up to three business days for a sponsor's payment to be processed and accurately reflected in your student account.
  
  
• Sponsor Did Not Receive the Invoice/Email:
  • Advise your sponsor to check their spam or junk mail folders.
  • As the student, verify that you entered the sponsor's email address correctly in the portal.
  • You can usually find an option to resend the invitation/invoice via your myNXU student portal.
    
    
• Sponsor Experiencing Difficulty Accessing the Payment Page:
  • Ensure they are using the exact, complete link provided in the email.
  • Suggest they try opening the link in a different web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari).
  • Recommend they clear their browser's cache and cookies and then try accessing the link again.
