Prodigy Finance General Scholarship
“Prodigy Finance came to the rescue not once, but twice. First, by offering me a no-collateral, no co-signer loan at a time when most regional lenders wouldn’t, even with an existing personal loan. And now again, with a $5,000 scholarship that means a great deal as I return to student life. It eases immediate financial stress and allows me to focus more fully on making the most of my MBA. I’m incredibly grateful to be selected. This kind of support makes education accessible and creates opportunity. I hope to pay it forward in the years to come.”
