Raise.me offers students the opportunity to earn "micro-scholarships" to specific colleges that participate in the raise.me program. Students create a raise.me account for free, select colleges of interest, and enter required information. Colleges give small amounts for different information entered by the student (types of classes, grades earned, community service, extracurricular activities, honors/awards, etc.) and amounts increase as more information is entered. Raise.me only works if students continuously update their information. Students can begin entering information as early as 9th grade.
