Who are we?
Established in 2013, Earn to Learn is the largest and most successful matched-savings scholarship program in the country. It combines student savings with scholarships, financial training, and postsecondary education success coaching to help eligible and under-represented students obtain an education and graduate workforce-ready with little to no student loan debt.
Eligible students and their families deposit $500 into a savings account each year, then receive an 8:1 match through combined university support and other public and philanthropic funding. This creates $4,500 per academic year in total available funds per academic year for tuition, fees, room and board, and other costs to support educational success.
Our Mission:

We accomplish this mission through an innovative, four-pillar approach to financial preparation for college, including:
