Campus: A corporate supporter has purchased and is holding an historic small college campus in Vermont, so that Greenway can expand into it.

Significant External Support: Secured >$3M in private and federal funding, including significant support from the National Science Foundation. Designated the top priority economic development project for the region.

Successful pilot semesters: Through support from the National Science Foundation, we prototyped both the hands-on project-based component, and the work-integrated component.

We’ve done our homework and validated our approach. Now we’re ready to launch.

Join us in building Greenway by supporting our immediate needs as we prepare to open the doors to our first cohort of students.
