ReUp Education

Venture Round in 2021
ReUp Education leverages data, technology, and coaching to re-enroll students who have left college and support them through to graduation. ReUp partners with universities and community colleges to find, engage, and empower students who have left school to return, navigate a path to complete their degree, and achieve their goals. O Each year, millions of students drop-out of college or university – some 37 million Americans in the last two decades. The reasons students drop out are multi-dimensional, with the primary barriers to completion being financial, work, family obligations, health-related issues, and motivation. Many of these “Forgotten Students” leave college with mountains of debt (over $27 billion annually) and without the earning power of a diploma. The social, economic, and human potential loss is enormous. While this completion crisis is alarming, ReUp has the solution. We are proud to work with some of the most diverse universities and colleges in the country - tackling this problem student by student.
