We collect the school and program data ourselves, then review the profiles for accuracy, and then send them off for final review by the school.

When the school’s representative provides feedback, we make any necessary updates and mark the profile as “Reviewed by School”.

We collect and validate the same data for every school in our database, regardless of whether or not the school is an advertiser (sponsor). Click any “sponsor” link to learn more.
