In August 2022, we introduced Apply with Scoir. It’s a new process for
seamlessly applying to college, on the same platform where nearly 1 million
students are already discovering careers and colleges and building their lists.
When we spoke with students, we knew this was a huge pain point we could help
solve so we’re excited to share how this first year went.
We’ve seen 61,000 students apply with Scoir.
This is huge. We’ve loved creating a new experience that helps students who
need it the most. 118 colleges accepted the app in year 1.
This year, we expect that number to grow even more! The great part is that these
colleges receive more than 10% of all apps every year so when students
apply with Scoir, they avoid duplicative data entry and keep everything in one spot.
As we head into year 2, we’re excited for the changes we have planned for
everyone in the process, including application receiving colleges.
Up first, updates to Colleges' configuration experiences.
Before, colleges could only configure one fee waiver eligibility criteria, Military
Status, indicating whether a student was active duty military or a veteran.
Now, colleges can configure 6 additional fee waiver eligibility.
Here’s the full list:
In addition, colleges can also decide whether they’d like to receive Race &
Ethnicity details in Application Profile PDFs, and if they opt to collect Additional
Tests and/or English Proficiency Tests, colleges can add provide extra context to
applicants
We’re excited about these changes, especially the expansion of fee waiver
eligibility criteria, which allows you to better reach the students who need help
the most.
We’d love to hear what you think about these additional configuration options. Share your feedback!
