Core Values
Our core values drive everything we do at Scholars for Dollars. We hold these ideas as our highest priority, guiding our mission to empower students and families on the path to a debt-free college experience.
Debt Is A Last Resort
We do not believe debt should be the main way for families to pay for college and will overwhelmingly oppose any student loans. Instead, we ask families to explore every financial option to minimize reliance on loans.
Impactful Advocacy
We actively advocate for systemic change in education financing striving to create policies that reduce dependence on loans. The financial burden of education should never outweigh the value of the knowledge gained.
Education May Not Be Free, But Can Be A Equalizing Force For All
Our ancestors gained wisdom through their struggles and challenges teaching us education does not come easily. Today access to education often requires significant financial investment creating disparities in families. However, we believe the hard work a student brings can end this gap. Leveling the playing field and enabling all students to achieve success regardless of their financial background.
Self Reliance Is The End Goal
Our strategies and information put families and students in the driver seat of their financial future. We want students to feel in control of their future.
Empowerment Through Education
We are committed to equipping students and families with the tools, knowledge, and confidence they need to navigate college financing. By fostering independence and self-reliance students can pursue their dreams with integrity.
Growth Mindset
Education doesn't end when you step out of school. We believe in continual learning and improvement, both for ourselves and for the students and families we serve.
Founder
My name is Crayton Koranda
Hello, I am the creator of Scholars For Dollars. I started this program because I found there was a lack of information for students about financing college. Yet what information there was pushed loans and debt. Student loans has ended many American dreams as people sacrifice their life to pay off their loans. I don't think this is the way for higher education. I want to put an end to it. Because of this a part of my life's mission is improving the finances of my generation without the huge burden of debt.
