Sponsorship disclosure

Paid placements carry this label: Sponsored

What sponsors can buy

• A labeled banner under the header on every page, for one school at a time.
• A sponsored school or program card in a dedicated slot (home page, state and city pages, program-category pages, search results, guides).
• An enhanced profile (additional factual material that the school supplies and that we review).

Packages and yearly prices are on the advertising page. Every sponsorship carries a 30-day money-back guarantee: a request sent through the contact form within 30 days of the campaign's start date is refunded in full.

What sponsors cannot buy

• Accreditation status, verification, reviews, rankings or guaranteed inquiries.
• A place in our editorial selections or in the order of results. Results are listed alphabetically; sponsored cards sit in their own labeled slots.
• Removal of correct but unfavorable facts.

Free listings

Basic factual listings are free. Being listed does not imply sponsorship, and sponsoring does not change how a school is researched.

Student inquiries

A student's request for information is forwarded to a school only with the student's explicit consent naming that school. Referral or lead arrangements, if any, are disclosed here before they start; none is active at the time of writing.

Measurement

Sponsored impressions and clicks are counted in aggregate for reporting to sponsors. See the privacy policy. Outbound clicks are intent signals, not inquiries or enrollments.
