The strategic partnership aims to ensure that
promising students from around the world have the greatest possible
chance of securing an F-1 student visa
WASHINGTON, May 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- MPOWER Financing, a mission-driven fintech firm and
the leading provider of no-cosigner loans to promising
international students, has announced a partnership with Catalyst
GEM, a firm that facilitates the educational journeys of
international students and supports U.S.-based institutions. This
strategic alliance aims to assist high-achieving students globally
in navigating the U.S. visa application process and securing their
F-1 student visas.
"This will help thousands of aspiring
international students from around the world navigate the complex
visa process"
"Our partnership with Catalyst GEM is just one more example of
how MPOWER provides customers with benefits beyond funding," said
Lisa Kaplan, head of Product and
Digital Platforms at MPOWER Financing. "Catalyst GEM's world-class
expertise helps our customers prepare for their visa interviews,
which is a key step in realizing their dream to study abroad. This
collaboration will help thousands of aspiring international
students from around the world navigate the complex visa process
with confidence."
Catalyst GEM provides cutting-edge technology and
dedicated support, enabling institutions to streamline admissions
and enhance student enrollment experiences. The organization also
supports colleges and institutions with innovative software
solutions to revolutionize the international admissions
process.
"Our partnership with MPOWER Financing perfectly aligns with our
mission," said John Evans, founder
and CEO of Catalyst GEM. "MPOWER provides international students
the opportunity to participate in and succeed in the wonderful
American higher education system. However, many international
students still fail to secure an F-1 student visa. Our
comprehensive F-1 Visa Preparation Course helps ensure they are
fully prepared for the visa process and can navigate it
confidently. International students have as little as 90 seconds to
convince a visa officer of their legitimacy, but most simply don't
know what to expect. Our course directly addresses this problem by
providing them with the required knowledge, counseling and
resources."
