More than 80% of high school students say their goal is to attend a four-year college. But young people are nervous about how to make that dream come true. They are confused about which college to attend, stressed about the college application process and anxiety ridden about how to actually pay for college. They need information about financial aid, scholarships and jobs that help them offset the cost of a higher education.

This is where Get Schooled comes in.

Get Schooled was founded five years ago through a partnership with Viacom and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Our mission has been to empower and engage young people and to give them the tools and inspiration to get the education they need to succeed. We use our digital platform, gamification and a recipe we call ‘sizzle and substance’ to inspire and engage students. To date, we’ve reached more than five million young people attending close to 11,000 middle and high schools throughout the United States.
