 Is Your High School Unwittingly Selling Student Information?

Why Your School Website Should Add a Link to Kaarme's Scholarship Search

Kaarme is a safer resource for your school.  Other "Scholarship Sites" sell user's personal information to third parties.  Kaarme requires no log in, protects user's personal data and allows them to share whatever relevant information they choose.  Kaarme can be trusted.

Why have links on your High School website if they won’t protect student, parent, and counselor data?

Kaarme's “CATCH” FREE" Scholarship Section is designed for Students, Parents and Counselors to work together.

Kaarme lets our users do the browsing.  Parents, students, and counselors work side by side to decide which scholarships are right for them.  Kaarme stays away from obscure scholarship funds with specific eligibility requirements and sticks with fewer, more attainable ones.  Kaarme users send their in-depth student résumé to scholarship organizations directly from our directories at no cost.

Please email suggestions@kaarme.com if you know of a resource that we have not included or if there is a problem with a link.

Spotlight Scholarships:

Catching The Dream - Catching the Dream, formerly known as the Native American Scholarship Fund, makes grants to Native college students and works to improve Indian schools. Since 1986, CTD has made scholarship awards to 920 students and has produced 596 graduates. Our retention rate is 83%, a very high rate compared to the 82% dropout rate that prevails nationwide with Native students. Contrary to what students often think, CTD rewards students for finding and winning scholarships. Many students think the fewer scholarships they find and win, the more we will like it. The opposite is true. The more scholarships you find and win, the more we like it, and the more money we will give you. Our ultimate goal is to have you being able to go to college with no loans and have your expenses totally covered.

Jackie Robinson Foundation - The Jackie Robinson Foundation (JRF) is a public, not-for-profit national organization founded by Rachel Robinson in 1973 as a vehicle to perpetuate the memory of Jackie Robinson and his achievements. Serving as an advocate for young people with the greatest need, the Foundation assists increasing numbers of minority youths through the granting of four-year scholarships for higher education.
