Noodle Partners today announced it had acquired Unsaddl, a leader in education benefits technology. Unsaddl's platform enables seamless student loan repayment and tuition reimbursement between employers and their employees.
The acquisition strengthens Scholars Network's end-to-end workforce pipeline solution, connecting employers with nursing students through employer-backed loan repayment programs and now delivering the technology infrastructure to manage those benefits at scale.
What This Means For Employer Partners
With Unsaddl integrated into the Scholars Network platform, employer partners gain a single system to recruit students, structure loan repayment agreements, and disburse education benefits, eliminating the manual workflows that have historically slowed program adoption.
"This acquisition is a natural next step for the Scholars Network. By applying Unsaddl's technology, we can strengthen the service we are providing to both employers and learners as they transition to the workforce. This allows healthcare employers to more easily attract and retain the workforce they desperately need."
John Katzman, CEO, Noodle
"I am excited to integrate Unsaddl's proprietary technology. This will create a uniquely consistent and reliable experience for the healthcare systems and employees we support."
Sam Maron, Senior Vice President at Noodle and founder of the Scholars Network
