Paying for college in the US is too hard. Students need to figure out what to apply for, when they need to apply for it, and juggle all the archaic applications for everything from scholarships, to government aid (FAFSA / CSS Profile), to state aid, to student loans and income-sharing agreements (ISAs).
We're going to fix this, and we want you to help.
We want to take advantage of the fact that all these applications ask the same core questions.
That's why at ScholarMe we're building the Common App for financing college. We want to automate students' applications to all these forms of aid.
Ultimately, we will guarantee that once a student fills out our master application, we'll get their bill paid, period.
It's a tall order. We have lots of work to do and loads of experiments to run.
We just raised $2.7mm from the likes of Paul Graham, Paul Walker (Former CTO of Goldman Sachs), and Y Combinator, and are looking to expand the team!
