Have you ever had a parent or
student complain that they did not know about a scholarship?
Providing high school students with equitable
access to timely scholarship information online and in a variety of printed formats is the
purpose of ScholarshipPlus.com. Through this single program, consistent information
about scholarships is made available to students and parents throughout your school
or school district.
ScholarshipPlus.com provides an internet-based solution to
sharing scholarship information through a custom-built online scholarship guide that is
integrated into your school or school district's website. ScholarshipPlus.com allows
students and parents to sort listings of scholarships by source (who is giving away the
money), discipline (is the money for a specific academic field) or deadline (when the
scholarship application is due). In addition, a high school-specific and
deadline-sensitive listing allows each high school in your district to identify its
internal procedures for handling scholarship applications, and lists scholarships that may
be for that school only (i.e. PTA, Booster Club, local business or organization).
But, ScholarshipPlus.com doesn't stop there.
There are additional financial aid and scholarship resources, tips from your school
counselors and an online form for individuals or organizations interested in starting
their own scholarship.
School counselors can add, update or delete
scholarship listings through easy-to-use online forms. No need to know how to
program a website and no need for 10 people at 10 different high school spending lots of
time producing scholarship newsletters of varying degrees of thoroughness. That's
because ScholarshipPlus.com also produces printed documents.
Not everyone is computer literate or owns a computer.
So, ScholarshipPlus.com also produces printed scholarship information that is consistent
with the online material. Each high school in your district can print a
school-specific scholarship newsletter each month through ScholarshipPlus.com. This
newsletter contains exactly how each school handles processing recommendations,
school-nominated scholarships, transcripts, deadlines, test dates, college visits, etc.
Plus, you'll have the same complete listings of scholarships available to each high
school. In addition, ScholarshipPlus.com produces a comprehensive district-wide
scholarship catalog each year.
One of the best benefits of ScholarshipPlus.com is that it
provides a consistent message to students and parents by ensuring that online and printed
materials have identical information. Also, each school in your district gets access
to the same scholarship information while maintaining its own identity and procedures.
ScholarshipPlus.com comes with on-site training for all
counselors and offers a free help line. The goal is that counselors will be able to
provide more information, more consistently while spending less time processing
scholarship announcements.
ScholarshipPlus.com offers many benefits, but two things you
won't find with this program are advertising or strings attached. Many
scholarship/financial aid websites are covered with advertisements from companies which
may or may not be reputable. Plus, many programs may promise computers, software or
other items, but they inevitably will cost you something in the long run. Some
programs tie you into long-term contracts or set you up with proprietary equipment that
has hidden costs or little or no flexibility. That will never happen with
ScholarshipPlus.com because you always have control over every bit of content on the
website and in your print materials.
The No Advertising, No Strings commitment comes
from our background in education where we believe that the schoolhouse should be for
learning and building a future and not for providing an audience for advertisers. |
