ScholarGeek Embed: Changing the Way Students find College & Ways to Finance It

Let's face it-Unfortunately a lot of school counselors are sorely underfunded and behind the times. Relying on bulletin boards and binders to let students know about new scholarships and grants available to them. Some Guidance departments are so overwhelmed they do not know about new and recent funding sources.

Additionally, not all students use the College counselor assistance. Many find it cumbersome to set up a meeting with a counselor, file paper forms, and search through an endless database, or folder of scholarships, most of which they do not even qualify for. Ultimately the student becomes frustrated and never returns to the office again, not finding the money they need to pay for their education.

With ScholarGeek Embed these problems are solved. The Guidance office receives a scholarship matching system, which takes into account 26 unique attributes of a student, matching them only to scholarships and grants they qualify for and the college they can be admitted for. This in turn, eliminates long hours of searching for student, but also frees up the Financial Aid Counselor to focus on helping students win awards rather than finding them.
