Why is this needed?
Many students are faced with the difficult choice: to pursue or postpone further education. They want to earn a credential that will allow them to advance or change careers, but even a low-cost certificate may be financially out of reach for people without large savings or high credit scores. Many employers are willing to hire for skills instead of degrees and even provide tuition reimbursements. But a barrier remains for people who are unable to pay for a $3,000 to $12,000 certificate up front. That is why the Bridge to Prosperity was created.
What makes this different?
We work with students directly. 100% of donations go to students. We also work with corporations not only to hire, but to reimburse students for their education. With the Bridge to Prosperity, students win.
How does this work?
Bridge to Prosperity provides students with a zero percent loan with flexible payments made over 4 to 6 years. We also promote students to employers that have the option to hire and reimburse them for their hard work. This approach creates an evergreen fund for current and future participants.
