We Know the Challenges You're Facing
You want every student to graduate debt-free, but:
-
Your counselors are already stretched thin
With 1:482 counselor-to-student ratios, there just aren't enough hours in the day to give every student personalized scholarship support.
-
Tracking everything manually is overwhelming
Spreadsheets, emails, and paper forms make it hard to see which students are on track, which are falling behind, and who needs help.
-
You need to show funders and leadership what's working
Without clean data, it's difficult to demonstrate the impact of your scholarship programs or secure continued funding.
-
Students miss opportunities they qualify for
Even motivated students struggle to find scholarships that match their unique backgrounds, interests, and achievements.
