This paper explores Stride Funding's innovative approach to democratize education through the development of a website that empowers students to compare different college degree programs and their ROI, helping them make the best decision based on their financial and educational goals. The website was developed using GitHub, React, and VS Code. In a society where financial struggles impede students in their pursuit of higher education, traditional financing options pose barriers. Founded in 2018, Stride Funding emerged as a mission-driven fintech startup aiming to revolutionize education finance. Through robust solutions like Income Share Loans and Employer Sponsored Loan, Stride envisions a more affordable and accessible education environment.
