RaiseMe

RaiseMe is a free college readiness tool that rewards high school students scholarships for their accomplishments throughout the year.

It started with a simple idea: What if we could reward scholarships as early as 9th grade?

RaiseMe can help students in 2 meaningful ways:

 1. Transparency for students and their families to see how much money they can be earning far earlier in the process

  2. Use the same scholarship dollars to help reinforce positive habits and motivate students to take on those more rigorous courses 

Students can earn what we call micro-scholarships as early as 9th grade. Micro-scholarships are small bit size scholarships for traditional measures of academic success like getting an A in a class, participating in a sport, volunteering in the community, even work experience. 

College and University partners across the country are awarding scholarships! 

Create an educator account, and you will get access to resources, like our informational webinars, educational articles, and lesson plans; then invite your students and help them find a clearer path to college, earlier.
