Educational Review Board

Meet our Educational Review Board members and learn more about our process

We know that applying to college and paying for college can be complicated and stressful. Unfortunately, the internet is full of unverified information and misguided advice.

At Scholarships360, we want to help all students navigate their educational and financial futures with high-quality, vetted information. That’s why we created the Scholarships360 Educational Review Board: to ensure that articles are both factual and consistent with the best practices and standards in college admissions and financial aid.

Who Is On The Board?

Our Review Board is composed of professionals with over 40 years of experience in college admissions, financial aid, and college access. We selected these individuals due to their breadth of experience, as well as their dedication to supporting students from all walks of life:
