My School List gives first-generation college students personalized school matches, real admission odds, 434 scholarships, and financial aid estimates — everything a $5,000 counselor provides, at a fraction of the cost.
First-gen families need clarity on two things above all else: how to pay for college and where to find free money. My School List delivers both.
Browse 434 real scholarships filtered by state, category, and amount. Dozens are specifically for first-generation students, low-income families, and underrepresented communities. Homeschool families, athletes, STEM students, essay writers — there is something for everyone.
See estimated financial aid packages for every school on your list. Compare net costs side by side so you can make informed decisions based on what your family will actually pay — not the sticker price that scares most first-gen families away from schools they can actually afford.
Most first-gen students have no idea whether they are aiming too high, too low, or just right. My School List shows you personalized admission odds for every school based on your actual academic profile — not generic acceptance rates from a Google search.
Every school on your list is categorized as a reach, match, or safety so you can build a balanced list with confidence. No guesswork. No wasted application fees. Just data-driven decisions that put you in the strongest position possible.
The average private college counselor charges $4,000–$10,000. My School List gives first-gen families the same tools and insights for a fraction of the cost.
