About ScholarMatcher

What do the scores mean?


The ScholarMatcher rates schools on a 1.0-4.0 scale in four areas: financial aid, academic strength, student support services, and post-graduate affordability, with an overall average score as well. A 2 is average, a 3 is very good, and a 4 is exceptional. Since ScholarMatcher only includes excellent schools, you won’t see many 1s, except for financial aid. Schools with a 1 in financial aid offer great education, but you may need extra scholarships to afford them. Don't let a 1 in financial aid stop you from applying—just be ready to seek other financial resources if needed.
