We believe higher education is both a personal and a collective good, a route to career success for the individual and the cornerstone of an informed, engaged society. We exist to ensure that access to it is not a matter of privilege.

ODEI's mission is to provide resources to talented students without the means to fulfill their higher education goals. We invest in individuals, and in the informed, opportunity-driven society we all benefit from.
