Pardon our bragging


Just in case you don't see the press release.......

First of Its Kind College Scholarship Search Tool From MoreThanGrades.com


MoreThanGrades.com is proud to announce the addition of a one of a kind scholarship search tool. For the first time, students can search for college and university based scholarships based on the student’s SAT, ACT, or GPA.


MoreThanGrades.com has indexed nearly 1000 full tuition scholarships, over 5000 partial tuition scholarships, and thousands of criteria based scholarships.

“We are very proud of what we can now provide to students. With the cost of college being a major factor in the decision making process, it was clear to us that a search engine that could locate college offered scholarships based on a student’s academic achievement was needed,” said Mike Rosich, Director of Social Media and I.T. at MoreThanGrades.com “Students typically pick safety schools and reach schools but rarely do they know what type of scholarship money is available until after they apply. Our hope is that students will now consider colleges that are willing to offer them scholarships as viable alternatives to schools that may not offer them scholarships or financial aid. There is nothing sadder then a senior who gets accepted into a great college only to learn they cannot afford to pay for it. “

The search engine is exclusively available on the MoreThanGrades.com website and only requires the user to select a few drop down menus to conduct a search. All search parameters can be changed rapidly with several filters also available. Guidance counselors can use the site to search for scholarships on behalf of their students through the teacher portal.

The scholarship search tool is just one of the many student-centered features available on MoreThanGrades.com. Also included on the website, virtual on-line college fairs where students and colleges can get together live, in real time, and a counselor chat tool that allows students to ask college related questions.

MoreThanGrades.com remains as the only website where both students and colleges can create a personalized profile page at no cost. Both students and colleges have the ability to search for each other in a private and secure environment, helping each college and student find that perfect match.

Over half a million students and hundreds of colleges have taken advantage of the free services provided by MoreThanGrades.com. For more information about MoreThanGrades.com, or to conduct a virtual on-line college fair, please email Mike Rosich at mrosich@Morethangrades.com
