Philly RISE is a virtual tutoring and mentoring organization founded by medical and other graduate students across Philadelphia at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. As millions of K–12 students were forced to adapt to uncertain, at-home online learning, Philly RISE volunteers came together to provide free, one-on-one virtual tutoring for students in Philadelphia and South Jersey. Recognizing that the shift to remote learning worsened existing educational barriers, especially in underserved communities, Philly RISE created a longitudinal support system focused on academic success, mentorship, and consistent companionship. Each student is paired with a local graduate student who offers individualized academic help and guidance tailored to the student’s graduation goals. Through ongoing tutoring, test preparation, and mentorship, Philly RISE aims to help students succeed in the classroom, pass statewide standardized exams, and ultimately graduate high school prepared for post-secondary education. Based at Temple University, Philly RISE continues to expand its network of dedicated graduate student volunteers who are committed to educational equity and long-term student success in the Philadelphia and South Jersey communities.

Your rent is one of the biggest expenses you already pay. By reporting it, you turn those payments into a credit-building advantage that can raise your score, save you thousands, and open financial doors after graduation.
On-time rent reporting can boost your score by 60+ points, giving you an early head start on your financial future.
A higher credit score means lower interest rates. Saving you thousands on your first car loan, credit cards, or student loan refinancing.
Good credit helps you qualify for apartments without a cosigner and access better financial products after graduation.
Rentaba turns a routine expense into progress, no confusing fine print, just straightforward credit building.
Turning rent into credit is simple. Just follow these steps and start building your score.

In this dynamic realm, we present solutions crafted for financial web professionals, a fusion of technology and fiscal intelligence.
The average college graduate’s credit score is 650-670, considerably lower than the national average of 715. This isn't because students are irresponsible; it's because their on-time rent payments go unnoticed.
On-time rent payments are a massive, untapped opportunity for your financial well-being. Rentaba reports these payments to credit bureaus, transforming your routine obligation into the foundation of a strong credit profile.
This is what financial inclusion should look like. I didn’t need to take out a loan or get a credit card. I just needed to pay rent on time.
I’m graduating this year and moving to NYC. Rentaba made me feel confident applying for apartments without stress.
As someone who just moved off-campus, Rentaba gave me peace of mind. I didn’t even know rent could count toward my credit. Now I feel like I’m building toward something real.
As an international student from India, I had no credit and no Social Security Number. Rentaba gave me a real way to start building credit in the U.S. early—and now my rental history is actually mine. I wish I had this my first year.
