The National Center for College Costs offers foundations and other scholarship providers a Scholarship Screening Service that enables them to systematically determine which applicants need their assistance the most. In working with our organization, scholarship providers eliminate the internal processing of financial information and simplify an often confusing aspect of applicant assessments.
"Thanks to the National Center for College Costs’ scholarship screening service, we no longer have to try to gather relevant financial details on our own. It is like adding another staff member as they efficiently and effectively complement our work. They have brought objectivity to what has been an all too subjective portion of the scholarship selection process." – C.W. “Bud” Walther, President and CEO, Community Foundation of Jackson County, Seymour, Indiana
"The scholarship screening service provided by the National Center for College Costs has been an invaluable tool as we make selections for our need-based scholarships. Understanding the full impact of a family’s financial situation helps us to make educated decisions, knowing we have helped those with the most need while still honoring our donors’ wishes." – Katie Braswell, Vice President, Hamilton Community Foundation, Hamilton, Ohio
"We have used the National Center for College Costs scholarship screening service for many years, but because of the economic conditions of the last two years, we have had a lot fewer scholarships to offer. We are pushing families harder than ever to complete the Center’s College Costs Estimator so they can get free help from the Center for all families, especially those who may not receive a scholarship." - Sharon Hollowell, Executive Director, Decatur County Community Foundation, Greensburg, Indiana
