What is Southwestern Advantage?

Southwestern Advantage: Entrepreneurial Program For College Students • Educational Resources For Families

Established in 1855, Southwestern Advantage is the oldest entrepreneurial program in the world for university students. Our program has given hundreds of thousands of participants the opportunity to graduate debt-free with transferable personal and professional skills. Student Reps spend their summers building their businesses in a community away from home, visiting with families face-to-face, showing educational apps, websites, and books. Our products are designed by a national board of top educators and help with everything from the ABCs to the ACTs. Southwestern Advantage is a member of the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, a BBB award-winner for ethical commerce, and has been repeatedly named a Top Workplace by The Tennessean.

The Southwestern Advantage learning system is a trusted industry-leading resource for students receiving any public, private, or homeschool education. Our apps, websites, and books are designed by a national board of top educators which include product partnerships with National Geographic, The Princeton Review, Dave Ramsey & Rachel Cruze, Homer - #1 Learn to Read Program, Southwestern Consulting, Cheryl Forberg, and more. Millions of families across the US & Canada have added Southwestern Advantage products to their home.

Products are only available in-person via Student Reps, as the primary purpose of Southwestern Advantage is to be an entrepreneurial and skill-development program for the university students that participate.
