BeforeYouSign for students
Education loan agreements, university terms, scholarships, and internships — in plain language.
Students often sign contracts for education loans, university rules, scholarships, or internships. These documents are full of legal language and set important things: repayment terms, obligations during an internship, or what happens if you withdraw. BeforeYouSign gives you a structured plain-language overview — what you are signing, what the risks are, and what questions to ask before you commit.
Why BeforeYouSign
Everything you need to understand a contract before you sign
Loans and repayment terms
For education loan agreements the tool extracts and explains repayment terms, interest, grace periods, and what happens if you default. That gives you a clear picture of your long-term commitment.
Internships and scholarships
For internships and scholarships the review highlights rights to your work, confidentiality, duration, and termination conditions. You see whether there are unusual requirements and what questions to ask the employer or organization.
Risks and questions
For each risky area you get an explanation of why it matters and concrete questions to ask. That helps you enter your education or work experience better prepared and with a more informed decision.
