Social Media & Marketing, Campus Ambassador Intern
Vouchpad
Vouchpad is building a platform that would enable high-potential college students to secure affordable private student loans regardless of their nationality, socioeconomic status, or access to cosigners. We believe that college students should have access to affordable financing, and a credit score (or lack thereof) should not be the sole limiting factor for financial success. Our holistic approach ensures students get judged by their future instead of their past.
