Our values

There are a lot of systemic changes that need to happen to make post-secondary  education more inclusive, accessible, and affordable. We can’t make all those changes immediately but we can commit to taking actionable and informed steps to making that  first step to prosperity possible.

Simplicity

We take what’s complicated and make it easy. It’s  what makes us uniquely able to break down barriers  to access and knowledge.

Community

We actively engage with communities to make sure everyone feels ownership in our collective success.

Transparency

There are no ulterior motives here. We are transparent to build and sustain trust. We make sure our actions speak as loud as our words.

Dignity

We meet you where you are and show deep respect to everyone trying to make the future better.
