Cost & Value Comparison
The Real Cost of Two Years of College
This scholarship covers the first two years of your college journey — the same academic credit value as paying full tuition, at a fraction of the cost.
Traditional Route
~$23,200
Average 2-year in-state college tuition & fees
- ✗ Campus facility fees
- ✗ Housing & meal plans
- ✗ Athletic & activity fees
- ✗ Administrative overhead
- ✗ Rigid course schedule
Your UPI Study Scholarship
$400
One-time admin fee. That's it. Scholarship covers the rest.
- ✓ Same academic credit value
- ✓ 70+ college-level courses
- ✓ Lifetime platform access
- ✓ 100% online & self-paced
- ✓ Transfer-ready transcripts included
Same academic credit value. Radically different cost structure.
Why This Is Real
Too Good to Be True?
Too Good to Be True?
Here's Why It Isn't.
We understand the skepticism. $400 for what normally costs $23,000 raises questions. Here are the straight answers.
No Campus. No Overhead.
UPI Study is 100% online. There are no building costs, no stadium fees, no dining halls, and no unnecessary administrative layers. That savings flows directly to students.
No Loans. No Subsidies.
This is not funded by student loans, the school district, or government subsidies. UPI Study's low-overhead model makes this price point genuinely sustainable.
The $400 Covers Everything
Academic platform access. Advising & counseling. Transcript & credit transfer guidance. All course fees. There is no hidden cost after activation.
The educational value mirrors two years of college — without the traditional cost structure. Tuition and fees for a degree-granting institution apply only after credits are transferred and you enroll at your chosen college or university.
Academic Credibility
Reviewed by the Organizations That Matter
Credits are evaluated by two nationally recognized organizations used by colleges and universities across the country to evaluate college-level learning.
ACE
American Council on Education (ACE)
✓ ACCREDITED & REVIEWED FOR CREDIT
ACE is the nation's most respected higher education association, representing over 1,700 degree-granting institutions. Their credit recommendation service evaluates and accredits college-level learning acquired outside traditional academic settings — and is recognized broadly by universities nationwide. When ACE recommends credit, colleges listen.
NCCRS
National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS)
✓ ACCREDITED & REVIEWED FOR CREDIT
NCCRS, a program of the New York State Education Department, evaluates and recommends college credit for courses and programs offered outside traditional academic environments. Their accreditation process is rigorous — and their recommendations are recognized by thousands of colleges and universities as equivalent to on-campus coursework.
Transferability
Will It Actually Transfer?
Credits are accepted at nearly 3,000 U.S. colleges and universities. Students typically transfer and enroll as Junior-level students — skipping Years 1 & 2 entirely.

FAQ
Straight Answers.
The questions we hear most from Douglas County students and their parents.
Is this a loan?
No. This is not a loan of any kind. There is no debt, no repayment plan, and no financial obligation beyond the one-time $400 administrative activation fee. You pay once — that's it.
Is this free?
The scholarship covers 100% of tuition for the academic pathway. The only cost is a one-time $400 administrative fee required to create your official student record and issue transferable documentation. Think of it like a college application fee — except it unlocks a full two-year academic pathway.
Will my credits actually transfer?
UPI Study credits carry ACE and NCCRS recommendations, which are the recognized national standards for evaluating college-level learning. These recommendations are accepted by nearly 3,000 U.S. colleges and universities. Transfer acceptance ultimately depends on your chosen school's policies, so we recommend confirming with your target institution's registrar.
Do I need my SAT or ACT scores?
No. There are no standardized test requirements to enroll in or complete UPI Study courses. You start learning immediately after activating your scholarship.
Can I do this while I'm still in high school?
Absolutely — and we encourage it. This pathway is specifically designed for high school students who want to get ahead. You can complete courses at your own pace alongside your regular schoolwork, over weekends, evenings, or summer. By the time you graduate, you could have up to 60 transferable college credits ready to go.
What exactly does "lifetime access" mean?
Once you pay the one-time $400 activation fee, you have permanent, unlimited access to all 70+ UPI Study courses — forever. There are no monthly fees, no annual renewals, and no expiration dates. You can take courses at your own pace, revisit content anytime, and continue learning long after you've transferred your credits.
What happens after I finish the courses?
Once you've completed the courses you need, you request your official UPI Study transcript, then submit it to your chosen university's admissions or registrar office. They'll evaluate your credits and apply them toward your degree plan. UPI Study provides guidance and support through this entire process.
Is UPI Study a real accredited institution?
UPI Study is an online academic platform whose courses carry ACE and NCCRS credit recommendations — the same standards that colleges and universities use nationwide to evaluate non-traditional college-level learning. This is different from institutional accreditation but produces the same transferable outcome. Over 3,000 colleges accept credits on this basis.
Why is Douglas County School System sharing this?
Douglas County School System has identified this as an approved academic opportunity for its students. The district did not fund or subsidize the program — it has simply recognized it as a legitimate, cost-effective pathway for students interested in earning college credit before graduating high school.
