Better Future Forward (BFF)

Opportunity Awaits.

Better Future Forward (BFF) believes everyone should have the chance to succeed — without worrying about how to afford school and manage future payments, or whether their hard work and financial sacrifice will truly pay off. That’s why we built our Student Education Funds (SEFs) to reimagine how paying for college works.

Better Future Forward is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, leading a movement in education finance reform. We currently manage three Student Education Funds, which are available to students attending select colleges and actively participating in college success programs in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois.

Learn About Our Mission

An Student Education Funds let students focus on what’s important: Their education.

“I was definitely excited [when I was approved for an SEF]. I remember I had told my parents about it right away, that there was a possibility that I could pay off school, and then pay it off after I graduate, and get the job that I want. So, I just remember this feeling of excitement that I don’t necessarily have to worry about money, and I can focus on my schoolwork and just finish off strong.”

Accessible Financing

We built our Student Education Funds on the belief that all students should have the financial support they need to succeed in school.

Education is a doorway for knowledge, enrichment, and opportunity.

“A lot of [funding options] last only four years, and then in the fifth year, you’re almost left alone. This program let me finish up the last few years of my college and not have to worry about finances while worrying about graduating.”
