Who We Are
We believe that education is an investment in our future. By bringing our unique and diverse experiences to our mission we aim to 
empower students to build a strong 
financial foundation for themselves and their future.
The Problem
Research shows that financial concerns are a primary factor in why many students fail to complete their college degree. The impact is even bigger for low-income and first-generation college students — who face a greater risk of either not enrolling or dropping out.
The Solution
At Frank, we knew that we had an opportunity to positively impact students throughout their education by delivering an improved FAFSA®, discounted college courses, and resources and tools for college students.
Our Story
2017
In 2017, Founder Charlie Javice launched Frank to help students afford the college of their dreams without being crushed by student debt. She raised a total of $15.7M, the largest venture round for a female founder that year, to get the company off the ground and developed a simplified, fast, and easy FAFSA® to help students and their families file for financial aid.
2018
In just under two years, the company helped about 350,000 students find about $7 billion in aid – for free. By including additional tools and resources, including the in-depth library, How To Pay For College and College Search, Frank was one step closer to helping students make smarter financial choices.
2019
Frank partners with Detroit Pistons point guard Langston Galloway and power forward Anthony Tolliver to encourage Detroit high school students to complete their FAFSA® to qualify for college financial aid.
2020
The Frank Team goes fully remote. Still on a mission to create a world where education is affordable to all students.
2021
Frank launches Classfinder with Frank, a unique marketplace that allows students to search and enroll in online college courses offered directly from real colleges. By putting the power back in the hands of the students, education becomes both attainable and affordable for all.
