Starvard Challenges
As far as we know, Starvard is the only university that pays you to learn. Some of our courses carry cash challenges: do the work, show the work, and the money is yours. We currently have hundreds of dollars set aside to reward students who finish.
Pick a challenge. Start with the course, which is free like everything at Starvard.
Do the work, on video. Short phone videos of you actually studying and practicing. Real beats perfect.
Upload your proof, get paid. Send us your videos, we check them like a teacher would, and finishers get paid.
Challenge No. 1 · Music
Our founder, Dave Dlaney, once sat down and did 99 days of piano himself. Now it is your turn. Take the free Learn Piano course, practice every day for 99 days, and upload a short video of each day's practice: you, at the keys, doing the work.
Coming soon
Reading challenges with the Masters Library, writing challenges, and coding challenges are being built now, each with its own cash prize. Students in the Discord hear about new challenges first.
A note on accuracy: Much of what you read at Starvard was created with help from AI agents, working alongside people. We check what we can, but we cannot guarantee that everything here is true, current, or complete. If something really matters, your health, your money, a grade, a job, please verify it with a trusted source before you rely on it.
