College admissions is in a season of tremendous change.
In light of the Search Cliff, we believe colleges have an opportunity to escape the soul-crushing act of cold emailing tens of thousands of students, and instead prioritize authentic connections.
It’s an opportunity to help students more directly, and to pursue the students that are truly interested in your institution.
In our recent webinar, we explained how we can help! This article is a summary of what we covered, including how to:

Higher education creates advancement opportunities. Yet, many students do not realize this potential. Barriers like cost and information overload during the discovery process can make the college search experience overwhelming.
The reality is that 40% of high school graduates do not go to college, and 30% of college undergraduates do not complete their degree.
Our mission is to expand access to higher education through our admissions network connecting students, counselors, parents and guardians, CBOs, and colleges.
The admissions landscape is filled with challenges for colleges as well, such as the recent decision on Affirmative Action and the impending Search Cliff.
It is more important than ever to find ways to connect with purposeful students, rather than relying on mass email blasts and traditional recruitment strategies.
Through tools like Premium Presence and Outreach Messaging, colleges can reach stealth and underrepresented students through Scoir…students that are already interested in your institution.
Scoir can be an incredible addition to your college’s recruiting strategy.

We care about people and bringing results that help everyone involved in higher ed.
Scoir offers three packages for colleges:
Below, we outline these packages and the features that are included.
The Advanced Solutions package provides the bulk of our student recruitment features for colleges.
On Scoir, all colleges have a basic profile. It’s similar to a social media profile in that important information about your school is laid out for users to see. Things like financial aid, campus life, academics, and admission rate are included in college profiles.
One of our most popular offerings is Premium Presence, which allows colleges to level-up their college profile.
Below, you can see the impact of becoming a Scoir partner college and utilizing Premium Presence profile on Scoir, based on a case study we completed last season.
