| | | Use College Insights to Find Merit Scholarships
The goal for creating College Insights was to make it easier for families to quickly and easily find colleges where their student has the best chances of receiving merit scholarships.
I've been hosting webinars for the past few weeks and will continue to do so as long as there is interest. This Thursday, I'll be doing another session to explain how College Insights works and how you can use it to simplify your search for colleges that can offer your family money.

We've already had several hundred families sign up to use College Insights.
Here are what some of them had said (all of these are unsolicited comments):

| | | | | | My goal is to help families like yours and mine get through college admissions and paying for it with as little pain (emotional and monetary) as possible; and with as much data, tools, and guidance without breaking the bank just to get our kids into college.
I'm always open for suggestions, so don't be shy to email me with your thoughts on College Insights or anything we do on Road2College and Paying for College 101.

| | | | College Insights: Help To Find Merit Scholarships |
| | We have good news - our popular College Data Spreadsheet has been converted to College Insights, an online search site with more data and easier to use functionality.
Here's a sample of what you can search for and compare on College Insights:- Schools that offer the best financial aid
- Schools that are the most generous with merit scholarships
- Four-year graduation rates
- Early Decision/Early Action rates and the % of class accepted Early Admissions
- Regular Decision rates
- Average net price and sticker price of a school
- And a variety of criteria that matters most to you and your student, such as: location, test requirements, school size, majors offered, GPA, financial aid forms required, retention rates, endowment per student, and average loan balances
In addition, College Insights not only lets you see the information supplied by colleges, but by also by members of our own community.
Unlock the black box and look at real college offers other students have received at specific schools over the past two years. This information is valuable now to see what students were actually offered by colleges and it is valuable when your student receives his/her offers in the spring.
By comparing your student's offer to other students' offers, you’ll get a better sense of whether you can ask for more aid, and you'll also be returning the favor of sharing information by paying it forward for the next family and those in the future.
