It takes a village to raise a child… and pay for college.
Tuition Coins are paid for by local/international businesses and individuals that sponsor parents for their engagement. Every time an individual or business purchases TUIT's, it allows them to send a sponsored notification to parents informing them that said individual/business contributed to their child’s future educational costs.
A new way for parents to access college funding starting from Kindergarten.
Students
Students on the platform receive ‘SCHOLARSHIP POINTS’ for daily attendance, assessments, supplemental learning, and extracurricular activities.
Parents
Parents earn ‘TUITION COINS ($TUIT)’ for helping their children succeed on the Coins For College platform.
Tuition Coins
Scholarships rarely cover 100% of tuition and other college expenses. Tuition Coin is a digital currency similar to Bitcoin, increasing in value with mass adoption. Parents earn Tuition Coins when their children succeed on the Coins For College platform. Tuition Coins can be redeemed on the ‘Intuition Exchange’ to cover remaining tuition and college expenses not covered by scholarships.
Scholarship Points
Scholarship Points are our innovative way of gamifying a student's journey from kindergarten to college. Every Scholarship Point is a data point that colleges can utilize to make a more informed admission and scholarship decision.
Scholarship Points are a comprehensive set of educational data points collected from a student's K-12 journey, which colleges can use to make informed admission decisions and provide scholarships accordingly through the Coins for College platform.
Scholarship Points
College scholarships are limited for socioeconomically disadvantaged students who often rely on supplemental educational and financial resources to access top colleges. With Coins for College, students earn Scholarship Points through attendance, assessments, and supplemental learning. Scholarship points equal data points that colleges can use to to make informed decisions on admissions and scholarship awards.
Attendance
Students earn Scholarship Points for every day they attend school, with a continuous attendance record leading to a higher rate of earning.
Assessments
Educator-created assessments reveal knowledge gaps, and students earn Scholarship Points for every assessment they complete.
Enrichment
The Coins for College platform features a comprehensive collection of educational resources. Students can address identified knowledge gaps and earn extra Scholarship Points by accessing instructional videos, presentations, and educational articles through the platform
Special Events
Through partnerships with nonprofits, K-12 schools, colleges, and corporations, Coins for College conducts special events where students can earn Scholarship Points for their participation and performance.
Parent Involvement Is Key to Student Motivation
Parent involvement has been proven to have a positive impact on a student’s motivation to learn, and attitudes towards school. The Coins For College platform offers parents the opportunity to engage with their child’s learning path through the Student Dashboard which helps to cultivate an open parent-child channel of communication.

What people have to say about us
One of the biggest challenges facing students planning for college today is how they will be able to afford to go to school. Digital currency will transform education in the future just by giving students more opportunities to earn money in different ways. One of the questions educators get from students is, "Why do I need to learn this?" or "Why am I doing this?" but now we can point them to Coins For College. Students can see an actual link between the work they are doing, and the assessments they are taking, and then watch their Scholarship Point count rise which expands the opportunity for real world scholarships from colleges.

Vice Principal, Cornerstone Christian School
With the onset of the pandemic and the large learning curve created by switching to distance learning many students have fallen further behind. Students have missed out on concepts and they’ve missed out on opportunities to be able to learn the material at a deeper level. Therefore, I cannot move as quickly as I would like to cover additional material so students aren’t gaining the concepts they need and many are worried and stressed about next year. Coins For College can help close these gaps by giving students access to additional learning opportunities at a pace that is comfortable for each of them individually.

Our education system has been stretched to capacity for years. The areas most affected are regarding the resources available to students and teachers.. These are areas we are really falling short. It is not because teachers aren’t trying, and it's not because we don't care. It is because teachers can only hold so much, and the schools are trying to be everything for every child. Coins For College can help by closing learning gaps for students and by rewarding teachers for helping students. It’s a win, win for everyone.
