Graduation Readiness Through Financial Independence Education
Educational technology platform delivering pathway-adaptive curriculum through interactive digital learning — bridging the exposure gap between classroom and real-world financial decisions
The Financial Independence Gap in Graduation Readiness
High school students graduate capable and ready to learn but without exposure to the financial decisions that determine their independence after graduation.
Limited Exposure, Not Limited Ability
Students are capable. They simply haven't experienced real-world financial scenarios before they matter
- No practice with budgeting before bills are due
- No exposure to credit decisions before offers appear
- No experience comparing financial options before stakes are high
Graduation doesn't mean they're ready for financial independence
One-Size-Fits-All Falls Short
Traditional approaches assume identical post-graduation pathways
- Content built for 4-year college students only
- Ignores community college, workforce entry, entrepreneurship realities
- Generic curriculum doesn't connect to diverse student experiences
Not all graduates need the same financial independence skills
Graduation Readiness Incomplete
Schools invest in academic preparation but financial independence often overlooked
- College counseling focuses on admissions, not post-enrollment finances
- Career services address job search, not workplace financial decisions
- No integration with institutional values and student development
Students graduate academically ready but financially unprepared
"We don't assume students lack capability. We create exposure to financial independence skills before graduation, not after."
