Scholarship America is proud to announce that we've established a partnership with Zinch.com, in support of America's youth. Zinch, whose motto is "You are more than a test score," is a network connecting young people with opportunities. Over 1 million students have created Zinch profiles to be matched with 700 colleges and millions in scholarships; these profiles allow students to showcase themselves, establish their first professional profile, complete with a personal URL for including in applications to schools, scholarships and internships. Colleges and graduate schools turn to Zinch to efficiently recruit students.
Our relationship with Zinch will link Scholarship America's services with Zinch's, to assure that a greater number of students have access to information and services that will help them navigate their way to postsecondary programs. The relationship between the two organizations assures that students have more resources at their fingertips when they are using the tools available on Zinch.com.
“Utilizing our shared resources will result in more robust information available to individual students in one place,” says Mim Schreck, President of Scholarship America. “More information means more opportunities for these students to be successful.”
“Paying for college and navigating financial aid options can be daunting. This collaboration aims to demystify financial aid programs and fundamentally improve access to money for college,” says Anne Dwane, President of Zinch.
Scholarship America is currently piloting the use of Zinch.com with one of its community-based Dollars for Scholars chapters. The goal is to match eligible students who have a profile on Zinch to specific scholarship opportunities available through this Dollars for Scholars chapter.
In addition, Scholarship America has already provided informational articles for Zinch.com’s e-newsletter to high school students, and will contribute articles each month on topics such as Scholarship Application Dos and Don’ts, Why Every Student Should Complete the FAFSA, and How to Select a College that will Treat Your Scholarship Fairly, among others.
We're excited to be partnering with the folks at Zinch.com, and encourage you to check out their site!
