Welcome to Rivet School

We're a nonprofit providing one-on-one support to help you earn your bachelor’s degree online, in as little as 2-3 years, and for an average of $10,000 total. All without leaving your job.
We created the Pay it Forward Program to help make college more accessible for all students. Through Pay it Forward, you can pay no tuition while in school (beyond a $200 enrollment fee to participate in Pay it Forward) and pay back only if and when you get a good job.
