College Funding 123 and Hope Africa USA (founded by James Ihedigbo) have formed a partnership founded on the common goal of providing the means and opportunities to help make the dream of a college education an affordable reality for students and their families.
"There are so many kids out there who want to go to college, but don't see how they can get there," said Ihedigbo. "I come from a family where access to higher education has always been a huge priority. By partnering with College Funding 123, we are taking scholarship opportunities to the next level; helping provide 32 young men and women with the best access to funding and choices for college admission, while establishing a continuing system of resources for future generations."
"We're really excited to share in this opportunity for students in Michigan and beyond," said Edward Vosganian, President of College Funding 123. "Both James and I are very passionate about education and committed to helping students find the resources to get the best college education possible, without racking up unmanageable student loan debt."
College Funding 123 has been helping students successfully navigate the complex maze of college admissions and financial aid since 2003, by working side-by-side with families to meet their students' educational aspirations, without sacrificing retirement savings, income, or assets.
Ihedigbo has been raising money to provide post-high school educational scholarships for students in Detroit and throughout the United States since 2007, through Hope Africa USA. Ihedigbo founded the charity when he was drafted to the NFL. He wanted to use his new platform to further the dream of his father; to make a higher education accessible for not only his family, but for other families, as well.
Scholarship applications are available on the Hope Africa USA (www.hopeafricausa.org) and College Funding 123 (www.collegefunding123.org) websites.
