How it works

A simple, no-pressure path from "where do I start?" to "I know what to look into."

  1. Tell us what you need

    Complete the short form on our Get Started page. We ask for your name, email, mobile phone, ZIP code, where you are in your education journey, and what you'd like to learn about. Your school or college of interest is optional.

  2. Choose how to hear from us

    You'll see two separate, optional text-message choices, one for informational texts and one for promotional texts. Neither is checked for you. You can also hear from us by email only.

  3. We confirm your choices

    You'll get a confirmation email, and a welcome text if you opted in to texts. Every text includes how to opt out (STOP) and how to get help (HELP).

  4. Get information, then decide

    You'll receive general information about education grants, scholarships, and college costs. We don't pass your details to schools, lenders, or other third parties. Whether to apply for anything is always up to you, and you apply directly with each school or organization.
