What is Raise.me? It’s a new program that gives students the opportunity to earn micro-scholarships during high school for participating colleges. Awards are given to students automatically for each of their achievements during high school. Currently, over 60 colleges are participating in the program with more being added each month.

The Raise.me Micro-Scholarship program gives student incentives to perform well in school. The money comes from the participating colleges and is awarded upon admission. So far, over $250 million in Micro-Scholarships have been made available by the colleges as part of their commitment to making aid more transparent, predictable, and motivational for students.

Students can participate in the program for free and see which colleges are participating. College like Tulane University, DePaul University and the University of Rochester are just a few of the college participants. It’s a great way for students to see their efforts rewarded and rack up money to pay for college.

Parents can encourage their student to participate and see results:

• Automatic earnings of grant aid before you even apply to college
• Bite-sized goals to help your teen achieve at their highest level
• Privacy controls that give students complete control over their information
• Timely reminders to keep your teen on track
• Early connections to colleges to get the inside scoop and receive invitations to events
