UI Offers Exclusive Raise.me Micro Scholarships In Iowa
The University of Iowa signs a one year exclusivity deal with Raise Labs to provide micro scholarships through the Raise.me platform, targeting high school students in Iowa. The program awards dollars for achievements and activities, with up to 1200 dollars available toward tuition and requires districts with high free and reduced lunch rates. The contract outlines data sharing, annual costs of 5000 dollars plus ten dollars per participating student, and four year credit allocation with GPA and full-time enrollment conditions. Officials defend the program as expanding access while critics warn of monetization of student choices and potential shifts in recruitment strategies.
