About Grantilo

We help students and families take a calm, informed look at paying for education.

Our purpose

Information first. Decisions yours.

Paying for college can feel like a maze of forms, deadlines, and unfamiliar words, and the loudest ads rarely explain what the different kinds of aid really mean. Grantilo exists to make the first step easier: clear explanations of grants, scholarships, FAFSA, and cost factors, and a simple way to get updates if you want them.

We don't pressure anyone, we don't promise money, and we don't pretend to be a school, lender, or government office. If the best next step is simply a conversation with your school's financial-aid office, that's a perfectly good outcome.

What we believe

Our principles

Clarity

We explain things in plain language and say what we are, and aren't, up front.

Consent you can see

Every opt-in is separate, specific, and unchecked by default. You always know what you're agreeing to.

Respect for privacy

We collect only what we need, we don't sell it, and we never share mobile information for marketing.

What we are
