Higher education should be a right... not a privilege. And no barriers that one can't control should stand in the way of education. That's why UoPeople decided to make history as the world's first non-profit, tuition-free, American accredited, online university. That's right—UoPeople doesn’t charge tuition, and we don't charge students to enroll, pay for books or other course materials, or campus fees. Our unique online model of higher education allows us to bring the classroom to you– cutting the cost for our students overall. There are some small fees to pay for the courses you take, but these pale in comparison to the tens of thousands of dollars many people end up owing for their higher education experience. And there are even scholarships you can obtain to help you with these fees! Here's the link to our site if you want to learn more: https://lnkd.in/duCx2xXe #HigherEd #TuitionFree #HigherEducation

The cost of a typical four-year college degree in the United States varies based on factors such as the type of institution (public or private) and whether you attend in-state or out-of-state. Here are some averages for the 2022–2023 academic year: Public Four-Year In-State: The annual average tuition is approximately $27,940, totaling $111,760 over four years. Public Four-Year Out-of-State: The annual average tuition is around $45,240, totaling $180,960 over four years. Private Nonprofit Four-Year: The annual average tuition is about $57,570, totaling $230,280 over four years. Keep in mind that these figures don’t include additional expenses like books, supplies, and living costs, which can significantly impact the overall cost of attending college #collegecosts #whycollege #

In nearly thirty years of working with inspiring leaders, iconic companies, brilliant teams, and complex challenges, I've learned a thing or two. And one of the most valuable lessons I've picked up along the way is the importance of giving more than you take. Believe me, this principle applies not only to your school days but also in the present moment, maybe more than ever. For those of you that have been through it, you know founding a nonprofit is no small task. It can get pretty messy, there's always a shortage of funds, volunteers and staff, and you're constantly seeking better ways to support your community. But at the core of it all is that beautiful, innate desire we humans have to make a difference and give back.  There are nearly two million nonprofits in the US alone, accounting for roughly 5.3% of the US's total GDP and 9.2% of all wages and salaries. Trillions of dollars in impact are felt across the world all stemming from the everyday actions of people doing good. When Susanne and I founded BPI, it was with the intention of helping young adults in our community that were falling through the cracks- underemployed, unskilled, lacking resources to build a future. It's a fact that a high school diploma alone is unfortunately not enough in today's job market. In fact, it's almost equivalent to dropping out. Can you believe that? About 90% of the jobs in our state require some form of post-secondary education, but not all of them require a four-year degree.   A university experience is not for everyone and is increasingly out of range for most families. Meanwhile, there are tens of thousands of good paying jobs waiting to be filled if only we can connect those students with both the training and employment opportunities available. At BPI, we decided to help accelerate the path to meaningful careers through CTE (career and technical education), by getting young adults into apprenticeships, paid training programs, and skilled trade certifications. On top of scholarships, we fund the nonprofits in our community that are working to eliminate the wide variety of barriers facing young adults including access to childcare, transportation, required tools and materials, and testing fees. Hitting just one of these obstacles can derail the entire future of a promising person.  We believe that everyone has a combination of time, talent, and treasure to give in making things a little better for our neighbors. I’m excited to be a small part of those two million US nonprofits. For those of you who are supporting that community, thank you. For those of you who have not yet taken the leap, will you join us?  www.bpicharity.org

Today marks the start of Leave a Legacy Month. Let's take some time to explore what planned giving truly is. 🌟 Unlocking the Future: The Power of Planned Giving in Ontario’s Post-Secondary Institutions 🌟 As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of education, there’s a quiet force that has the potential to transform lives long after we’ve left the classroom. Planned giving, often overlooked, is a remarkable way to leave a lasting legacy—one that echoes through generations of learners. What is planned giving? It’s the thoughtful act of including a charitable gift in your will. By allocating a portion of your estate to support education, you become a beacon of opportunity for future scholars. Whether it’s establishing scholarships, funding research, or enhancing campus facilities, your legacy becomes intertwined with the very fabric of learning. 🌱 Why consider planned giving? Impact Beyond a Lifetime: Imagine the ripple effect—your generosity shaping minds, igniting passions, and empowering students to reach for the stars. Accessible to All: You don’t need vast wealth to make a difference. Every contribution counts, whether it’s a small percentage or a specific dollar amount. Inspiring Others: When you share your commitment to planned giving, you inspire others to join this noble cause. Together, we can build bridges to knowledge and opportunity. 🎓 Let’s envision a future where education thrives, where dreams are nurtured, and where the torch of knowledge burns brightly. Consider making a gift in your will, and let your legacy echo through the hallowed halls of Ontario’s institutions. #MayisLeaveALegacyMonth #PlannedGiving #EducationMatters #LegacyOfLearning #PlantingtheSeed #LeaveALastingLegacy *AI-Generated Image
