The way we work with institutions adapts to their specific needs. Our two most common models are Fee-for-Persistence and Fee-for-Service. Our Fee-for-Persistence approach puts student success first, and because we contribute our own capital investment, it’s purposefully designed to align our interests with the university in supporting the student all the way to programme completion. This means that Risepoint can only succeed if students and our partners succeed.
