How CollegeCompass360 works.

You answer a few questions about what you want to study, and we email you your next step. We don’t pass your request to schools.

Free · About two minutes · Not a school or a government agency

The steps

Three steps, and it’s free to use.

We may be paid by education partners if you submit your details on their sites from our emails, which is how this stays free for you. We don’t award aid, and we can’t tell you whether you qualify.

  1. Tell us what you want to study

    Your field, whether you would study online or on campus, and when you would start. About two minutes.

  2. We email you your next step

    Usually within minutes, to the address you give us. We don’t pass your request to schools.

  3. You decide what to do next

    Explore programs and ways to pay, including filing the FAFSA for free. Nothing obliges you to apply anywhere.

After you send it

What happens to your request.

You see a confirmation straight away, and we email your next step to the address you gave us, usually within minutes. We don’t pass your request to schools. The Privacy Policy lists the service providers that help us run the site.

We also add your email address to our newsletter about school and funding options. You can stop any of it with the unsubscribe link in any email, or by emailing privacy@collegecompass360.com.

Sending a request is free and does not commit you to anything. You decide whether to apply to any school.

Plainly

What we are, and what we aren’t.

We are

  • A free service that emails you your next step toward programs in the field you pick
  • Paid by education partners if you submit your details on their sites from our emails

We are not

  • A school, or a government agency
  • A service that passes your request to schools
  • Where you apply for federal aid. That is the FAFSA, free at studentaid.gov
  • The one who decides whether you qualify for aid, or how much

Applying for federal aid is free at studentaid.gov. Questions? Read the answers.

About two minutes, free, and no obligation. We email you your next step.
