AI infrastructure for human potential

Passage provides access to life-changing opportunities by connecting students to best-fit programs globally.

Who we are

We build technology that removes barriers blocking talent from opportunity, combining the latest advancements in AI with human judgment.

How we expand access

Access isn't real if it's unaffordable. Through our sister company, Passage Funding, we provide financing for international students.

What we believe

Access to opportunity should not be determined by geography, gender, or wealth. We reinvest a portion of our profits to support those cut off from education - including our Afghan program.

One mission. Multiple ways to move people forward.

Passage connects students, institutions, funding, and technology across the full journey from discovery to enrollment.

One group. Three focused companies.

Passage brings together student guidance, institutional technology, and access to funding.
