Sixup Pbc, Inc

SIXUP is a public benefit corporation and online lending platform whose mission is to lift up the next generation of high-achieving, low-income students in pursuit of a high-quality college education. Our platform combines community, finance and technology to deliver responsible, affordable loans that help students upgrade to and graduate from more selective four-year colleges. We fund the gap between available financial aid and total cost of attendance with loans that do not require credit or a co-signer. At Sixup, we aim to make paying for college simple, accessible and predictable, while keeping a student’s debt as low as possible. At Sixup, we believe the American Dream is broken for millions of low-income students seeking higher education. Every year, high-achieving students get accepted to selective four-year institutions but can't afford the rising educational costs and don’t have access to the funding they need to make it through to graduation. These students are often forced to downgrade their dreams, put their lives on a credit card, take on high-interest loans, or, worst of all, drop-out. We believe there is a better way. We empower students to pursue their dreams, and increase career opportunities and earning power with a college degree.
