Raise.me helps students in 9th - 12th grades to discover colleges and earn scholarships for their academic and extracurricular achievements throughout high school. When students add achievements to their Portfolio on Raise.me, they could be eligible to earn Micro-Scholarships towards our partner colleges. These achievements can include good grades, participating in clubs, playing on a sports team, volunteering, or even starting a club. They can include AP or IB courses, honors classes, and college-level courses, too.

 

Students can build a Portfolio of their achievements, Follow Colleges, and watch their scholarship earnings pile up!  Students can fill in their high school Portfolio retrospectively with achievements going back to the start of 9th grade, and they will eligible to earn scholarships as if they had been using Raise.me since 9th grade. The more complete a student’s Portfolio, the more opportunities to earn Micro Scholarships they will have. 

 

Student information is self-reported and students are expected to make sure all of their information on Raise.me is accurate. Students also submit their transcripts as part of the college application process, which means that everything can be verified by the colleges and universities. If any students’ self-reported information is found to be false, they will lose all of their hard earned Micro-Scholarships. 

 

Raise.me will also automatically submit the Portfolios for Seniors in high school to the colleges they are following if their Profiles are complete (they have at least 15 credits) by the colleges’ Deadlines. The scholarships earned on Raise.me represent a guaranteed minimum amount of scholarship or grant aid that students will receive in their financial aid packages if they are admitted and choose to attend that college.
