Scholarship Universe goes big UA’s scholarship-matchmaking site has been comercially licensed and will soon be implemented in colleges across the country BY SHAQ DAVIS @shaqdavis1
Scholarship Universe, UA’s scholarship match-making site, will soon be available to thousands of students across the country. UA reached an agreement with Glendale-based company
CampusLogic to implement the program in more than 60 schools by spring 2017. Since its conception in 2009, Scholarship Universe has grown to match students with thousands of internal and external scholarships. Don-E Merson, senior architect at Scholarship
Universe, said the program goes far beyond being able to match students with scholarships based solely on information as simple as grade point averages. Merson said there are at least 284 different qualifying questions Scholarship Universe can ask students to best match them with scholarships, but the
program only asks them a small portion in order to get the best results. “The site will work to match you to the right things,” Merson said. “The first time you fill out your basic stuff, we match you. We only match you to scholarships that are live.”
