ESA is a fully operating charitable organization that provides liquidity for post secondary student loans. It also conducts and maintains charitable programs that provide students with the opportunity to obtain a post-secondary education, grants for scholarships and financial literacy.
Since 2012 we have partnered with EVERFI to provide financial literacy training to more than 27,254 students by taking the financial literacy course specific to high school and elementary school students. We have provided this course at no cost to the districts, schools, or teachers. To date upwards of 165,000 learning modules and over 55,134 hours have been completed on the course resulting in an impressive average improvement of 70% in student financial knowledge based on tests embedded in the platform.
The grant/scholarship program provides scholarships to students who demonstrate, through an application process, academic achievement, financial need, and involvement in community services. During 2018, ESA funded grants that provided scholarships to 53 students.
