The $200K Investment
Expanding What's Possible After Graduation
A Third Door
After graduation, most students see two doors: college or the workforce.
Forge Prep opens a third.
Graduates who choose to keep building receive a $200,000 investment to take their venture, research, or innovation further.
It’s belief – expressed as capital.
No high school offers this.
Heck, no Ivy League university even offers this.
No school stands behind its students like we do.
More Options, Not Fewer
By graduation, Forge students have already built things that work – ventures launched, prototypes tested, campaigns delivered.
That proof gives them more choices, not fewer.
They can:
- Pursue college, where the Proof Transcript makes them stand out.
- Enter the workforce, where experience and results speak louder than grades.
- Choose funding, and receive $200,000 to go pro on their idea.
Backed Beyond Graduation
The $200K investment reflects our core belief about education: That when students learn by building, they leave ready to solve real problems and create value immediately.
We believe in our model so deeply that we’re willing to back it – with real capital and continued support.
Graduates who take the investment stay connected to The Guild, gaining mentorship, introductions, and guidance from experienced founders and investors.
The result is a lifelong community of builders helping one another grow long after graduation.
Proof of Belief
Every school says it prepares students for life.
That through worksheets, multiple choice tests and inflated grades, they develop students who “learn how to learn”.
We don’t do platitudes at Forge Prep.
Instead, we put our money where our mouth is.
While others talk about belief in their students, we prove ours with investment.
The $200K investment turns a Forge education into a launchpad for what comes next.
