Turn your grades into scholarships

Raise.me helps you earn microscholarships for the work you’re already doing in class and outside of class. Microscholarships are exactly what they sound like: small scholarships that you can earn at specific colleges and universities. Raise.me consolidates the process of earning and tracking the microscholarships. Take a look at their video below as well as a review at the New York Times.
