Flexible business models that always keep partners in control and student success first

Reach out to learn more about what model is best for your university.

The way we work with institutions adapts to their specific needs. Our two most common models are fee-for-persistence and fee-for-service. Our fee-for-persistence approach puts student success first, and was purposefully designed to align our interests with the university in supporting the student all the way to program completion. This means that Risepoint can only succeed if students and our partners succeed.
