Purpose University, Inc. is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization. Our mission is to help students to find their purpose in life and launch a business or nonprofit corporation in 24-hours*
​
*Actually 24 hours of coursework over 7 days, but that doesn't sound as snazzy
Through our partnership with Drakeford, Scott, & Associates, LLC our project has received a ​$225,000 NSF grant award. Our SBIR Phase I project takes a deeper look at the concept of 'purpose' and its relationship to the marketplace, unemployment, and start-up incubators. It intends to develop a multi-question self-assessment tool to help individuals find meaningful purpose through free, online, live and self-paced hybrid course instruction. The coursework will use augmented reality and 3-D video to motivate individuals to re-think purpose as a central motivation to employment and entrepreneurship.

"I will admit this course stirred up in me the purpose that had become very latent. I graduated with my masters degree 17 years ago and I finished my doctorate 8 years ago and that whole time I had been looking for a really good fit to use my training in a way that was more true to who I am...I haven't really had that close fit to be able to do what I really believe is my purpose in life. Through literally a one-day process and a couple of follow-up meetings, I'm at a place now that I can implement that purpose that has been waiting for me for years.”

​

"I have been in business for several years. Purpose University helped me to re-brand my business and develop a new website focused on the newly created brand. I also learned new strategies to involve my staff in the new brand and raise their excitement and level of commitment for continued success. The program design is very focused and intentional and with Dr. Drakeford's vast knowledge and guidance, I was able to get all of this accomplished in a week. Thank you for helping me refresh my business."
