Mission & Values
Our Mission
We support students financially
2 out of 3 college students have less than $1,000 in their bank accounts. This is an alarming issue.
As international students, we fully understand this similar struggle. That’s why we are here to help. By using Apprese, you can save money and time when compared to purchasing professional attire that you will rarely use.
For student owners, you can rent out your attire instead of letting it sit in your closet. It’s an easy way to earn some extra money and support your fellow students.
Our goal for the first year is to help our students make a total of $50,000.
We believe in the value of students helping students
🤝 “Success is best when it’s shared” – Howard Schultz, Former CEO of Starbucks
Apprese is not just about renting professional attire from and to each other. There is nothing more powerful than students in the community supporting each other, and we believe that success is to be learned, shared, and achieved together.
We cultivate the slogan of “Wear Success”
Students dedicate countless hours to preparing for events, career fairs, interviews, and more. Why should you spend even more time worrying about accessing professional attire?
