PYT Score (Credit Score for Students) – Implementation Specialist Project

Project

Pay Your Tuition Foundation
Apply Now

We are seeking a skilled volunteer to help us build and implement the PYT Score—a first-of-its-kind credit score system for students at Pay Your Tuition Foundation (PYT). This score will track and reward financial behaviors like on-time payments, enrollment milestones, and academic achievements. Specifically, we need a volunteer to:

-Design and integrate the scoring system within either Salesforce or Microsoft Power Apps (Dataverse), depending on final platform selection.
-Map out field connections and data flows from our website forms and Super App into the CRM.
-Create a lightweight, working version that can automatically calculate and update scores as students engage with our platform.
-Document the scoring process and logic for future scaling and refinements.

We are looking for someone who can help turn our clear, documented vision into a simple, functional MVP (minimum viable product) over the course of a few weeks.

PYT is committed to expanding educational and financial opportunities for underserved students. By building the PYT Score, we will give students a measurable way to build credit and financial credibility—even before they graduate. This project will directly:

-Expand economic mobility by helping students strengthen their financial profiles while earning their degrees.
-Support college retention and success by rewarding responsible behaviors like on-time payments and course completions.
-Strengthen long-term financial inclusion by helping students access credit, loans, and job opportunities after graduation.

Volunteers working on this project will help thousands of students nationwide build a foundation for lifelong success, making a tangible, lasting impact on education, financial equity, and economic opportunity.

We have already taken several steps to ensure this project is well-prepared and positioned for success:
-Internal buy-in is complete: Our leadership team is fully aligned and committed to integrating the PYT Score into our infrastructure.
-Clear documentation ready: We have detailed documentation outlining the desired scoring model, input fields, and business logic.
-Technical platforms are prepared: Salesforce CRM is active and ready, and Microsoft Power Apps access is in place.
-Dedicated point of contact: Our operations Fellow will serve as the direct liaison, ensuring rapid answers and smooth communication.
-Immediate implementation plan: As soon as the MVP is ready, it will be incorporated into our live operations for tracking student success metrics and program outcomes.

In short, we’ve laid the foundation—we now need a skilled volunteer to help us bring the vision to life!

At PYTF, we are dedicated to empowering underserved communities through innovative financial solutions. We strive to make higher education accessible and sustainable, recognizing the significant funding gaps that hinder many low to moderate-income undergraduate students from starting, staying in, and completing their degrees. Research indicates that financial obstacles account for 50% of the reasons why low-income students fail to complete their degrees. Our vision is to reshape the socioeconomic landscape by ensuring equitable access to education. Through our Student Loanership product offering—a unique blend of loan and scholarship—we connect families and banks to groundbreaking financing solutions. By harnessing technology and data, we bridge the higher education funding gap. Our program not only revolutionizes the scholarship industry but also places a strong emphasis on student advocacy, championing the financial interests, needs, and overall well-being of students. Join us in collaborating with students like you to forge a future where educational equity is universal, and every scholar has the resources to thrive, alongside student-driven initiatives.
