How is Maestro funded?
We partner with governments, companies, and institutions to cover the costs, ensuring that admission is based on talent, not financial background.
Is it really free?
Yes. Maestro was built to make world-class education free and accessible to everyone. Our Pro plan offers accredited degrees at no cost through Last Dollar Scholarships — which cover all remaining tuition after any eligible federal or state aid is applied. While scholarships are limited, we're expanding access as quickly as possible. For anyone not yet enrolled in Pro, our Open plan—launching soon—provides a free way to start learning.
Are Maestro's degrees accredited?
Yes. Maestro's programs are accredited by recognized bodies such as the COE and approved by regulatory agencies like the TWC, THECB, and NC-SARA.
