About

A college education is too expensive. In just four decades, the price has skyrocketed more than 900%.

Join us and the growing community of nearly 1,000 donors who are working to make a college education affordable for everyone.

Hope Forward is a new, revolutionary funding model that will provide fully funded tuition for every student at Hope.

Instead of charging tuition before receiving a transformative Hope education, this “pay it forward” approach will ask students to give to the college after they graduate — providing the same opportunity for future students. And because they will graduate free from the burden of debt, they’ll be better positioned to pursue lives of impact, not just income to pay the bills.

In order to make Hope Forward a reality for every student, we need your support. This pay-it-forward model is sustainable; however it requires raising a significant amount of resources to make Hope Forward a reality for generations to come.

A college funding model based on generosity and giving? We believe that could change everything. Will you move Hope forward and help create this revolutionary change?
