RaiseMe enables students to earn micro-scholarships from colleges by recording their high school and community college achievements. The platform functions by breaking down college financial aid into smaller, earned amounts tied to specific accomplishments.
Students add achievements to their online portfolio inside and outside the classroom. As they update their records, they see scholarships stack up from various college partners.
The system rewards a wide range of activities, including getting good grades in specific courses like Algebra, participating in sports, joining extracurricular clubs, and performing volunteer work. Recently, the platform added family assistance scholarships to recognize contributions by low-income students who care for family members.
By rewarding everyday achievements, RaiseMe helps low-income students visualize and secure financial aid for college. Users can earn substantial amounts, with individual students reporting totals ranging from thousands of dollars up to full tuition coverage at partner institutions like Stetson University.
