The ECS Funding Bridge is a strategic funding service built for private career schools, training centers, and non–Title IV institutions that want to increase enrollment and support students without relying on federal financial aid.

We focus on helping schools create alternative funding systems rooted in community and sustainability. That starts with establishing a nonprofit foundation so your school can accept donations, apply for education grants, and launch its own scholarship programs.

Through this service, we help you:

• Create and manage a branded scholarship fund with clear criteria

• Build partnerships with local employers who are willing to sponsor tuition in exchange for skilled graduates

• Connect students with safe, vetted financing options to cover tuition gaps

• Use public relations to attract donors, strengthen community trust, and expand your school’s reach

We also provide guidance for schools that are new or pursuing accreditation, but the primary goal of this service is to build strong financial infrastructure that allows more students to enroll, persist, and graduate.

This is a hands-on partnership where we walk with you through every step of the process, from setup to execution.
