On RaiseMe, you can connect directly with four-year colleges while enrolled in community college to see what academic achievements will help you stay on track to complete your associate degree and
efficiently and successfully transfer to complete your bachelor’s degrees. As you progress through community college coursework, you receive incremental “micro-scholarships” from colleges for those
achievements, which you see by logging into a free online portfolio. The micro-scholarship dollars translate into merit-based financial aid awarded directly to you by an institution once you apply and are accepted.
