AUSTIN, Texas, June 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- SchooLinks,
Inc. is partnering with Common App, a college application platform.
This fall, students at SchooLinks partner districts will be able to
submit college application materials through Common App directly on
the SchooLinks college and career readiness platform.
SchooLinks is a modern, robust, and intuitive college and career
readiness platform. Its student-centered solution offers more than
80 experiences for students, counselors, and families beginning in
6th grade. The solution helps districts boost outcomes through
effectively aligning student interests with post-secondary plans.
SchooLinks offers a 4-year course planner, graduation tracking and
warning, and post-secondary outcome and alumni tracking. The
platform also helps districts streamline their engagement with
community partners to offer internship opportunities and mentorship
for their students.
"At SchooLinks, we are constantly looking for new ways to
streamline counseling workflows and support students in their
pursuit of post-secondary success-- whether they're planning for
college, the military, or a career. We know college applications
and document flow can be a challenge for students and staff alike.
Making sense of all of the forms, steps, and sequences can crowd
out conversations about the "why" of college and how important fit is. This presents a
particular challenge for first-generation college students and
counselors with large caseloads. Our core focus as a company is
making access to opportunity ubiquitous. We're delivering on that
with our Common App integration by creating a frictionless,
intuitive process that works at scale.
Our customers know that we don't just provide software, but
collaborate with our district partners to architect cohesive
solutions and processes to achieve their goals. By integrating
Common App into our College Applications Management tool, we make
it easier for students and staff to navigate all aspects of the
college application workflow (recommendation letters, transcript
sending, and requirement tracking) from within SchooLinks. We'll be
working with our districts every step of the way to ensure students
know what exactly to do and staff are delighted by a refreshingly
intuitive process." said Katie Fang,
CEO of SchooLinks.
Common App is a non-profit membership organization
dedicated to access, equity, and integrity in the college admission
process. Common App helps reduce common barriers to the college
application process, including making the fee waiver process more
efficient for students in need. Each year, more than one million
applicants use the Common App. One-third of those applicants are
the first in their family to pursue a college degree.
