Student Debt

The Student Freedom Fund: Erasing Debt One Token at a Time

August 5, 2024·GetSmart Team

The Student Freedom Fund

Student loan debt in the US alone exceeds $1.7 trillion. Globally, the burden of education financing traps millions of graduates before their careers even begin.

GetSmart's Student Freedom Fund is a new model: earn your way out of debt by learning.

How It Works

  1. Sign up free with your Coinbase wallet — no credit card needed
  2. Complete gamified courses in Financial Literacy and Agentic AI
  3. Earn GETS tokens for every lesson, quiz, and credential milestone
  4. Apply tokens to your student debt — directly offsetting your balance

Every token you earn has real value. And every lesson you complete makes you more employable and less indebted.

Why This Works

Traditional debt relief requires political action, legal processes, or forgiveness programs that may or may not materialize. The Student Freedom Fund doesn't wait for policy — it creates a direct, learner-powered mechanism for debt reduction.

  • No gatekeepers
  • No means testing
  • No waiting list for policy changes

Just learn. Earn. Erase.

Who Qualifies

The Student Freedom Fund pilot is open to:

  • Students with any form of educational debt
  • Recent graduates within 10 years of graduation
  • Participants in any country

The pilot is launching Q3 2025 in partnership with sponsor organizations who fund the token pool.

Sponsors Make It Possible

Donors and corporate sponsors contribute to the Student Freedom Fund token pool. Their contributions are tracked on-chain, and they receive GETS tokens in return — plus recognition on the GetSmart platform.

Every $100 donated funds approximately 10 hours of debt-reducing learning.
