Paul Quinn College

Our goal is to eradicate intergenerational poverty

Link https://paulquinn.edu/mission-vision-history/ the first urban work college, working on the problem of students’ debt burden.

The Urban Work College Model:

Provides every residential Quinnite an internship (on-and off-campus). These internships, and the stipend they pay, reduce our students’ dependency on student loans. Students work an average of 15 hours per week. Allows our students to gain the real world work experience that directly translates into better employment opportunities post-college. We aren’t the only ones who take notice of what we are doing.
