Lowering the barrier to a high quality education
10 states entrust Odyssey to run their grant programs, including the Texas Education Freedom Accounts, the largest program in U.S. history.
Odyssey connects 200K students across America to $2B in government education funding. Grant money moves from states to families, then out to schools and vendors. If Odyssey can't trace every dollar along the way, fraud and missed regulations put these programs and their students at risk.
We need to provide accounting to state governments that is not only guaranteed to be correct, but is also traceable and auditable. Transparency is critical when we're entrusted with managing state funds.
— Sam Ratcliffe, CTO of Odyssey
Odyssey makes it easy for states to spin up education programs by owning the process end to end. Families apply for, receive, and spend grant money through Odyssey. Odyssey models every transaction type between every party in FRAGMENT.
We have over 50 different transaction types across all of these different stakeholders: edge cases like issuing refunds when orders don't ship and batch jobs handling unused funds at the end of a program year. FRAGMENT made it so easy to model all this complexity that they were the obvious choice.
