I am excited about ScholarShopMom’s partnership with College Greenlight, a free online college and scholarship search program targeting first-generation and underrepresented students. Our programs are both focused on helping students find the best academic, financial and social fit. I listed a few of my favorite Scholarship Search Engines in an earlier post. I would like to add College Greenlight to that list.
I like College Greenlight for the following reasons:
- Helps students to develop ownership for the college search process
- In addition to providing support for all students, they offer strong support for 1st generation and underrepresented students
- Empowers students and parents with good resources
- Counselor, mentors community-based organizations can track participant progress
- Notification of approaching deadlines
- Their database contains local and national scholarships
- Gives incentives for conducting searches
- During the month of February conducts scholarship marathons and weekly raffles
- Students can interact and dialogue with college representatives
- Maintains a list of scholarships with monthly deadlines
