Mission Statement
Our mission is to help ungraduated student and their parents struggling with college debt and to inspire every high school student to get a college education despite their financial situation
Description
I have seen high school students with world changer mindset, but the dream of a college education is dim because they are limited by their finances. In addition, they are forced to delay starting a family or become homeowners because of college debt. Some parents are forced to use their retirement savings or refinance their homes to pay-off college loans for their children.
99% of undergraduate students and/or their parents have over $100k plus in college loan debt. It is estimated that the amount of college loan debt for students and their parents will dramatically increase year-after-year with no relief in sight for students and their parents. College student loan is the second highest consumer debt behind mortgage, and grows higher each year.
There is an opportunity to empower and help undergraduate students and/ or their parents alleviate the burden of college debt, and create a better future for the next generation.
