§ Trust

Every listing is vetted, dated, and open.

A free, student-led nonprofit. Here's exactly how we keep the 4,670+ opportunities in the catalog honest — and how you can check our work.

  • Editor-reviewed

    Most listings are read by a student editor before they go live. AI proposes; a small share of high-confidence, pre-verified listings publish automatically.

  • Automated link checks

    We ping every official URL on a schedule. Dead or redirecting links are flagged and removed.

  • Timestamped, not evergreen

    Each program shows the last time it was verified — so you know if the info is fresh.

  • No pay-to-list. Ever.

    Programs cannot buy placement, ranking, or removal. Full stop.

  • Sources cited

    Every listing shows where it came from — official site, tip, or auto-discovery pipeline.

  • Open data

    The whole catalog is downloadable as CSV/JSON under CC-BY. Take it, fork it, verify it.

§ 02 · How to use this site

If this is your first time looking for opportunities, start here.

Set your grade and state, pick a few interests, and choose how competitive you're comfortable with. Results re-rank live — there's no submit button to be afraid of.

Go to the Finder →

2. Read the guide that matches your blocker

Stuck on writing a cold email, asking for a recommendation, or building an application timeline? Each guide is short, specific, and written like a friend wrote it.

Browse the Guides →

3. Save deadlines, not programs

Sort the Finder by deadline-soonest and put the next three on your calendar today. Most students miss programs because of timing, not eligibility.

Sort by deadline →

4. Send one message you'd otherwise skip

Suggest a program we missed, flag a broken link, or email the host of a program you're applying to. The single highest-leverage thing you can do is reach out.

§ 05 · Why this exists

"The information you need to do real research should not depend on whether your parents went to college, whether your school has a counselor with bandwidth, or whether someone in your neighborhood happens to know."

— Atlas of Opportunity, founding letter
