This is is truly wonderful! As a teenager in high school there is a build up of stress about many things having to do with college; how are you going to afford it, what is the best college for you, how do you prepare for your dream school, how should I narrow it down, and where am I going to find scholarships? This app truly helps with all of these things!! I have been able to find scholarships I never would have thought to look for or believe was possible. And I have truly been able to look into colleges that are a fit for me and match what I want out of school. We all want to get as much as possible out of college and this app truly helps do that. Try it and the best part is ITS FREE!!!!(I haven’t eeen any in app purchases not to say there are not but I truly believe this is genuinely an app that has your best interest)

As a senior, it’s been quite nerve wracking figuring out what life is going to bring. Encourage has helped to make this transition so much easier on not only me but also my family. I’ve been recommended hundreds of colleges and universities showing me that I have many options and much potential! Whether you’re a senior like me or you just want an early start or even a chance at a degree and other opportunities later in life, this app is 100% for you!!! God bless!! 🙏💕

Bug
すギリ
Can’t get past the, “tell us about you” screen. I don’t know if the next button is cut off or that screen is too far down the page but I cannot do anything on the page tried closing and reopening but it stays on that page. I can’t scroll or do anything I just got the app and I can’t even use it. : (Edit: I uninstalled and redownloaded the app but now every time I type in the email and password to access account it deletes both or deletes my email as soon as I go to type in my password.
