    We believe in the American Dream for everyone, regardless of where they were born or what class they were born into. But achieving that dream is impossible without education. Education inspires, encourages and empowers. But for too many smart, driven students, the high cost of a college education locks them out of the game.

    We believe education must be accessible and affordable for all.

    At the core of this vision is a financial engine that helps borrowers find affordable financing. An engine that simplifies the lending process, provides maximum liquidity, and personalizes its services to each borrower. That engine is Sparrow.
