AdvancePoint Capital’s expertise and experience with guiding finances mean we have first-hand experience with understanding the difficulties students are facing as they pursue their educational journey.
According to Federal Reserve reports from 2018, student loan debt has reached over a trillion dollars. Many students and aspiring students are not able to begin or continue their education due to the financial burden of student loan debt.
AdvancePoint Capital would like to be a leader in promoting financial literacy. Our entry requirement is for students to explore financial literacy and to elaborate on how they plan to manage their own debt. In collating essays written by students, from their experience, we hope to bring awareness to this issue and provide a body of text that can be used to inspire students to manage their finances.
In the knowledge of the pressures and difficulties students and their families are experiencing to advance their futures, we have created a $1000 scholarship for undergraduate students that are getting their first step on the ladder.
