For Families With High School Seniors…
What if you had information about the financial aid and merit scholarship offers colleges gave other students?
Would it help you make a more informed decision about the financial aid and scholarship package your student was offered?
Would you be willing to anonymously share your student’s offer to build a database of information to be shared with other families?
We hope so! By working together, families can create a rich set of data that will benefit themselves as well as future families with students applying to college.

FOUND! Scholarship $$
The good news is that your child has received lots of scholarship money…but the bad news is that he or she is now considered to be “over-awarded.” (Talk about a paradox!) And when that happens, many schools will lower their offers of need-based aid. Read “Can Private Scholarships Displace My Financial Aid,” and discover a way to find schools that will be more generous with merit aid.

FINDING MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS MADE EASY |
|
|
Since time is running out for high school seniors to apply to college (with most deadlines Jan.1st or Jan. 15th), we know families want to make sure they haven't left any stone unturned in finding merit scholarships.
The College Free Money Finder is a new tool I developed based on my own frustrations with the college search process. This new tool makes searching for merit scholarships faster and easier.
By entering your student's academic profile, preferences for size and location, and other criteria such as special talents, sports, and specific majors, the College Free Money Finder supplies a list of schools that will be most generous to your student.

|
|
In addition, the list of schools includes the specifics of any scholarships each school offers (deadlines, presence of honor programs, links to applications, gpa/test score criteria, sport and athletic conference, etc). So no more searching on individual college website for this information.
