Why should my firm Sponsor Degrees™?

There is an unprecedented shortage of high quality, skilled talent. Not only is the number of college graduates decreasing due to irreversible demographic trends, but many fields like accounting, cybersecurity, IT, and nursing simply don’t have enough new graduates to fill all the entry level positions.

GetSet’s Sponsored Degree™ Program empowers your firm to invest in tomorrow’s talent. Through the program, you’ll sponsor talented, highly motivated students with financial need to pursue degrees in fields that you need, and offer them a guaranteed position after they graduate.

Students love the program because they know they have a path to a great career in a high demand field upon graduation. And, thanks to your investment, they know it won’t cost them a penny to complete their degree.

How much does it cost?

$24,875* all in to:

• Find and recruit talented candidates

• Cover the entire tuition and mandatory fees for the last two years of a Bachelor’s Degree at well reputed institutions

• Provide intensive student support to ensure your sponsored students graduate on time and perform well academically

What’s the catch?

None. GetSet chooses schools that have a strong pedigree of academic success, career preparedness, and active support for students with financial need and transfer students. GetSet’s leading student success platform and a personal advisor assigned to each Sponsored Student ensure high on time graduation rates so you fill your entry level openings quickly.

What makes students eligible?

The program is open to all students with financial need. Financial need is defined as having at least $3,000 in annual Pell funding. Students must also be on track to have earned (or already completed) 60 credits by July 2022.
