The Earnest Scholarship

At Earnest, we believe the fundamental role of lenders is to help people realize their hopes and dreams.

And since our founding in 2013, we’ve combined better data, design, and service to bring people a fast, affordable, and personalized financial experience. We know how confusing and expensive education financing can be, so we’ve created a scholarship to award five undergraduate students who best articulate how their college education will enable their dreams.
