EXPLANATION OF THE LOAN PROCESS
- Funds are generated from local community fundraisers, sponsors, and investments. These funds are distributed based upon merit, need, community involvement, Islamic awareness, and location.
- A priority will be given to students applying in areas where local fundraising has been done. We call this “local investing with local rewards.” This program will reward communities for their generous donations by giving their qualified students a priority during distribution.

POWER OF 100K INITIATIVE
At ACC we believe in the “Power of Numbers.” This initiative aims to amass 100,000 unique donors who will donate $10 a month. This is our most important project at ACC. We believe that if we can garner participation from everyone for a little amount, we can reach our goal of a $10 million endowment fund in no time.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Donate Just $10 Now” shape=”square” align=”center” el_class=”about-dnt-btn” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fgive.acceducate.org%2F|||”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1616148336598{padding-top: 35px !important;padding-bottom: 35px !important;}”][vc_column_text]
REFINANCING
For students who already have loans that are incurring interest, ACC will refinance the loan and get the student interest-free. We feel this a great option for students who already have careers and are simply in need of consolidating their loans and removing interest from their lives.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Apply Now” shape=”square” align=”center” el_class=”about-dnt-btn” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fgive.acceducate.org%2Fapply%2F||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” equal_height=”yes” el_class=”pd-lr container”][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1616148315300{padding-top: 35px !important;padding-bottom: 35px !important;}”][vc_column_text]
LEGACY FUND
Start a family fund with ACC to provide interest-free loans for students and graduates. This model will perpetuate itself and serve as a continuous charity for your family. ACC will take care of everything from reviewing applications, interviewing applicants, producing annual reports for your family, and to most importantly, managing their loans.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Start a Legacy Fund” shape=”square” align=”center” el_class=”about-dnt-btn” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fgive.acceducate.org%2Flegacy-fund%2F||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1616148322003{padding-top: 35px !important;padding-bottom: 35px !important;}”][vc_column_text]

Giving interest-free loans to students has given us a taste of what it’s like to be free from interest. Every student we’ve helped has a story worth sharing.
