Personalized Portfolios
Each user has the ability to create a unique portfolio in which to store their assessment results, to use the resume writer feature, and to save the information they've looked up about occupations, schools, scholarships, and more. Users can also create a career plan, a high school course plan, and store important information like their education and work history. |
Scholarship and Financial Aid Search
Our scholarship and financial aid search tool allows users to learn about thousands of scholarships, grants, and loans. Users can customize their queries to learn about financial aid options for which they qualify, without spending time, money, and energy on programs for which they do not qualify. |
