Eligibility Requirements and Deadlines

Earning Deadline
This is the day that a college will be sent the proper information for all seniors who are Following them. A senior student must Follow a college by the earning deadline, so RaiseMe can submit them automatically. There is no manual option for submitting data.
All other eligibility requirements must also be met by this date. Read below, or check out this article about How to Submit.
Credits and GPA
Many colleges have requirements for credits and GPA. For example, they may require that a student has 15 credits on their Portfolio, and a GPA of 3. Another college might only require a GPA of 2.5. Learn about how we calculate GPA here.
Seniors must have met those requirements on the day of the earning deadline for each college. Colleges require 15 credits, and if a senior doesn't have 15 credits by the deadline of a college, they will not be submitted to that college.
Application Deadlines
Colleges can also set their own deadlines by which a student needs to have applied for admission. For example, their earning deadline on RaiseMe might be March 1st, but a student needs to have applied to the college by December 1st in order to be eligible.
Other Eligibility Requirements
From any college profile that offers Micro-Scholarships, simply Follow the school and click "Your Scholarships" to see the requirements. Some are very unique, so it's crucial that students check here early on (ideally, summer before their senior year) to make sure they're prepared to meet all the necessary deadlines and requirements.
