 FAQs

  • We are not a scholarship provider. Instead, we match you to colleges that will fund you. This is what we mean by financial fit.

  • We charge significantly less than our competitors, in most cases about 10% of their fees. We also offer free spaces. And if you are coming to us from your high school or a non-profit organization, the fee may also be free.

  • We are open to working with any underserved students and we use a very broad definition of underserved. In order to do this efficiently though, we stick to our strategy that includes applying to matched schools and other pieces. This means that if you have a specific college in mind or would like to work with someone to implement a personal strategy, we will likely not be a good fit.

  • In over ten years, we are still at 100% placement and funding to matched colleges.

  • We focus on best‑fit schools that maximize graduation and funding. If a target undermines that, we’ll recommend a better path.Item description
