We’re in the final stretch of 2021, but there is still a lot of excitement left in the year. Our 16th Annual Travel Video Contest is accepting entries until tomorrow and we can’t wait to see the videos from your students. Plus, with prospective students on the hunt for schools to attend in upcoming semesters, now is the perfect time to make sure your profile has the most up to date information, and that any awards you offer are included in our scholarship search. We have guidance in this month’s issue on both of these for you, and are always happy to provide one-on-one assistance.

Tuition, Ratios, and Test Scores, Oh My.
When a student lands on your profile page and starts to explore, one of the first sections they see is the overview section. Details like tuition, student to faculty ratio, test score requirements and admissions information greet them right away. If any of those items at your institution have changed since your profile was created, let us update it for you! Simply send over the new data and we will ensure students have access to the most accurate information when learning about your school.

Add On Blogs to Reach More
Why? If you are looking for a way to increase your visibility even further, you can reach prospective students with a specific promotional blog post about your school.
How does it work? Upon purchasing the blog add-on, our team will work with you in choosing the best blog topic and most important talking points for your school. We will create the blog for you, providing you with a draft before posting - if it’s not perfect, we’re more than happy to work with you until it is. If interested, contact us for more information.
