Subsequent Events [Abstract]  
Subsequent Events Subsequent Events On January 26, 2022, we signed a definitive agreement with Epic Research LLC to purchase the assets primarily used or held for use of Epic Research Education Services, LLC, which does business as Nitro College (“Nitro”). Nitro provides resources that help students and families evaluate how to responsibly pay for college and manage their financial responsibilities after graduation. Nitro takes pride in equipping college students and their parents with the necessary tools to navigate college financing, manage their debt, and obtain scholarship opportunities. In addition to providing a scholarship finder, Nitro provides FAFSA application support, information on grants, and calculators to help college students determine the potential return on investment from a college degree. The addition of Nitro will support the our mission of providing students with the confidence needed to successfully navigate the higher education journey. Strategically, we expect the acquisition of the Nitro assets, including its employees and intellectual property, when complete, to immediately expand our digital marketing capabilities, reduce the cost to acquire customer accounts, and accelerate our progress to become a broader education solutions provider for students before, during, and immediately after college. We have had a partnership with Nitro since 2017, and it has been a source of Private Education Loan leads during this period. The transaction is subject to customary approvals and closing conditions and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2022. Terms of the purchase are not being disclosed, but the purchase price is not material to the Company.
