Coach a Student Through College Applications
ScholarMatch coaches meet regularly over video with a student who is often the first in their family to apply to college, helping with everything from essay brainstorming to understanding financial aid offers. It is a meaningful fit for college students or recent grads who remember the process well and want to give back in a structured, ongoing way rather than a one-off task. Training and matching are handled by ScholarMatch staff.

“Loved this one — the organizer had everything set up before we arrived and explained exactly what we'd be doing. It ran about 30 minutes long, which caught a few of us off guard, so plan for that. Would definitely come back.”
💡 Bring closed-toe shoes and a water bottle — it gets warm.
