Students can find information on specific colleges and majors, scholarship and financial aid help, and even map out a plan based on their current grade and level of financial and academic preparedness. The site allows users to tackle the issue from every angle, basing their choices on interests and posing questions to users to help them narrow their search for the right fit.
