Recruitment and University Reserve Program
The University Reserve is a strategic tool designed to make financing higher education in the U.S. more accessible for African students by unlocking fair loans. By reducing the perceived risk for lenders, the University Reserve program ensures students can secure the loans they need to achieve their academic and career goals, while supporting university’s bottom line goals. The University Reserve works by creating a financial cushion that offers lenders greater confidence when extending loans to students with limited financial history. It is backed by contributions from universities, governments, foundations, and development finance institutions, and other aligned stakeholders. The effect is enabling African students to access to financing in the same way globally mobile students from other parts of the world do. With the University Reserve program, 8B is supporting African students to bridge the gap between ambition and opportunity—making possible the global education access that will be even more important in the global demographic transition.
