College costs a lot. We get it.

Your student is working hard at school. Maybe they have financial aid, loans and a job. That’s a lot of responsibility. Lets give them a little extra help with money for books and living expenses.

Circle of Support helps makes college an adventure not an endurance test.

Welcome to Circle of Support!

Circle of Support is a way for a dedicated group of people like a family to raise some extra money for the college student that they love. We help you invite people to your circle and ask them to pledge a monthly amount. Circle collects their gift every month and automatically transfers it to your student’s bank account. Your student can worry less and spend more time on their studies.

Then, because your student has been the recipient of so much generosity, we help them thank their supporters regularly and we connect them with charities in their communities so they can give a little something back.

When a kid goes to college and graduates, it’s a triumph for the whole family!

Now we are going to help you be a “Champion” for your student and start a circle of support. We need to start with some information from you.

Look at the letters. Make sure the greeting is what you want, Also if you want to make changes or customize a letter, now is the time to do so.

Dear Aunt Lou,

Dear Aunt Sarah, Miriam’s going to college and we are so excited for her! We are stretching as far as we can go and a little bit further to be able to send her.

But the thing a lot of us forget is, even when tuition is paid for there are still books to be bought, bus fare, meals—maybe even a movie once in a while.

Dear Aunt Sarah,

So we are asking our family and a few close friends who have enjoyed watching Miriam grow up to join her circle of support. We are asking you to pledge a few bucks a month to help her out while she is in school.

If everyone we asked supported Miriam at the rate of 25 dollars a month, she would have 200 dollars a month spending money. That can really make the difference between college being an struggle or a great adventure.

Dear Uncle Joe,

And of course you can be sure, when there is another new college student in the family we will be honored to return the favor.
