UAspire Pay for Success Project

Practice Area: Economic MobilityPost Secondary Opportunity Scope: Nation Location: National Status: Closed
Government Payor/Client: uAspire

Project Overview

Third Sector completed a PFS feasibility assessment designed to evaluate the appropriateness of PFS for higher education to help heighten the focus on and attainment of these outcomes. With generous support from the Kresge Foundation, we worked with uAspire, a national provider of college affordability and financial aid counseling serving primarily low-income and first-generation students, to develop a preliminary assessment of PFS in higher education. uAspire’s interest in PFS, as with many service providers, stemmed from a desire to find organizations who might be willing to pay for the delivery of their high-quality, evidence-based programming.
