College Raptor Scholarship winner Kaylee refers to College Raptor as a treasure. “There’s just so much more here,” she says.
When Kaylee first started the college search process, she wasn’t thinking about cost at all. She initially imagined attending an Ivy League school, with academics as her main focus. But as she progressed in high school, she started to look closer at the price tags. Realizing that cost would impact her choices felt challenging, especially as family circumstances left some of her college fund money “up for grabs.” For Kaylee, College Raptor brought light into the darkness of the unknown.
Kaylee’s thoughtful and decisive approach helped her shine. She applied a growth mindset as she explored her options, analyzed the data, and expanded her search in ways that many students might overlook. Using the Hidden Gems List, and Top College Lists, she gained confidence, discovered schools she hadn’t considered, and compared options across the country.
“College Raptor helped me understand more about what I want in a school,” she says, giving her greater confidence in both the search process and herself. Winning the College Raptor Scholarship not only relieved financial pressure but also affirmed her hard work and persistence. Her positive attitude and resilience are what makes Kaylee stand out among the rest!
