The RaiseMe app is a new way for high school students to earn money for college. The app works by connecting students to scholarships they might not have known about. These scholarships can be for seemingly normal things, like taking AP classes or volunteering in the community. The RaiseMe app lets students follow colleges they are interested in to see what scholarships they offer. The RaiseMe app also tracks their scholarship funds for each college, a feature which could make deciding which school to attend easier.
Student loans are a big source of debt for many Americans, a problem which is a bit odd given all the scholarship money out there. Of course the issue is not a lack of scholarships but a lack of knowledge and access. That's where the RaiseMe app comes in. It's free to download and is available now on iOS.
