How Can This University Charge Nothing for Tuition? @petercoy writes about @UoPeople for the @nytimes #HigherEd #EdChat #TuitionFree nytimes.com/2022/02/14/opi…
Thank you for the interview, @Medium! #OnlineEducation is the key to unlocking global access to #HigherEd. At @UoPeople, we’re proving it can be affordable, scalable & just as effective as traditional learning. Here’s how we’re helping students everywhere: tinyurl.com/mprn3rrw
Enrollment at @UoPeople grew by 210% in one year. In Ghana, Jordan, and the Philippines, it more than doubled. The world is hungry for accessible, affordable education. #EdTech #GlobalLearning #UoPeople
What if you didn’t have to choose between work, life, & getting a #degree? That question changed everything for Hashimu. Stories like Hashimu’s are why @UoPeople exists. Curious how our model works? Want to share your own journey? Drop a comment or connect with us.

Big news from #SOLAR2025!🎉 Congrats to our Provost, Dr. Marie Cini, winner of the 2025 @UPCEA Ray Schroeder Award for leadership in digital learning! 🏆Her work reflects UoPeople’s mission: affordable, accessible, high-quality education for all. 🌍 #UoPeople #EdTech #Leadership
I recently spoke with @PIX11News about how @UoPeople is a non-traditional college path. 🔗 Check it out: lnkd.in/dwT_CU5K #HigherEducation #UoPeople #PIX11 #ShaiReshef




Remote learning builds the same skills people need in today’s workplace. #Motivation, self discipline, teamwork & the ability to thrive outside an office. That is why employers are starting to value online education more than ever. #OnlineLearning #FutureOfWork #RemoteEducation
On #NelsonMandelaDay, we honor the power of perseverance & courage to create change. At @UoPeople, we’re inspired every day by students who overcome barriers to make the impossible possible through education. Keep striving, your impact can change the world.🌍#ShaiReshef #UoPeople

A student in #Kenya once posted: “I feel like a rich American student.” He had just enrolled in @UoPeople. That one sentence reminded me why we started it. #EducationForAll #SocialImpact #AccessToEducation
We’re #tuitionfree and global. But many who need us still don’t know we exist. With no ad budget, spreading the word is tough. And donations help us say yes to every new student. #AccessToEducation #NonprofitUniversity #GlobalEducation #UoPeople
Thank you,@CBSNewYork with special thanks to @jennbisramtv & @allendevlin_ for the opportunity to share our mission at @UoPeople. #Education should be a right, not a privilege. 🎥 Watch the full interview: tinyurl.com/ywacdjzs
“I’m proud to be part of the Education Revolution led by @UoPeople. Thanks to Shai Reshef’s vision, I’m earning a world-class degree, without financial barriers.” – Saad Ansari #UoPeople is more than a university. It’s a movement. #EducationForAll #UoPeople #ShaiReshef

I had the honor of speaking with @ @NewsHour & @newshourfred about the mission behind @UoPeople and why I believe #education should be a fundamental right, not a privilege. Check out the full interview here: lnkd.in/dX-v4Yyd #UoPeople #PBS #HigherEducation #PBS
You don’t need permission to build something that matters. You just need to start. That’s how @UoPeople began. #Leadership #SocialImpact #BuildWithPurpose #EducationForAll

From war zone to web developer. Abdulelah grew up in Yemen, facing war & a rare bone disease. He found hope at #UoPeople, studied #ComputerScience, and landed a job as a software dev in Uruguay. It’s not just a #degree, it’s a second chance. #CoffeeWithShai ☕ #HigherEd #UoPeople
Chizurum, our @UoPeople ambassador from #Nigeria, shares how flexible learning and valuable resources changed his life: “UoPeople gave me the confidence to succeed, develop my data analysis skills, and grow on my own terms.” #EducationForAll #OnlineEducation #HigherEd #UoPeople

Imagine earning a spot at a #university and being blocked — not by grades, but by borders. Dreams shouldn't stop at borders. Neither should opportunity. #EducationForAll #GlobalOpportunity #BordersShouldntStopDreams #uopeople @UoPeople
This #4thofJuly, let’s celebrate more than national freedom. Let’s celebrate freedom from #studentdebt. 🇺🇸 At @UoPeople, students earn accredited degrees online with no tuition & no loans. No debt. No barriers. Just opportunity. That’s real independence. #HigherEd #UoPeople
Opportunity should never be a casualty of politics. Banning students from certain countries doesn’t just close doors — it closes minds. At @UoPeople, we believe education belongs to everyone, everywhere. #EducationForAll #AccessNotExclusion #GlobalLearning

#HigherEd should not only prepare you for #success. It should prepare you for uncertainty, for change & for when plans fall apart. In a world where change is constant, #education must go beyond textbooks. It should teach us how to adapt, rebuild, and keep going. #UoPeople
