DREAM BIG
VU is helping high school students discover scholarship opportunities before they even apply to college.
Bring VU to Your SchoolFlipping the Script on SCHOLARSHIPS
High school students limit their future possibilities by thinking of a few colleges they've heard of, applying, then — maybe — they receive scholarships.
With VU, things change. We match students with scholarships based on their academics. Flipping the script, Juniors and Seniors view scholarship offers at a school-wide scholarship celebration before even applying, expanding college opportunities to help students find their best fit and apply with confidence.
No unnecessary applications and application fees. Just real scholarships, delivered to your students, opening doors they didn't even know existed.
