KidToCollege is not a registered financial advisor, investment advisor, licensed counselor, or legal professional. We are an educational technology platform. Nothing on this site should be construed as personalized financial, legal, or admissions advice.

4. Consult a professional

All financial aid, scholarship, and college funding decisions involve complex personal circumstances. You should consult a qualified financial advisor, your school's financial aid office, or a licensed college counselor before making any financial decisions related to college funding.

6. Information accuracy

College costs, scholarship availability, admissions requirements, and financial aid policies change frequently. While we strive for accuracy using public sources including IPEDS, Common Data Sets, and College Board data, always verify all information directly with the institution before making decisions.

AI-generated content, including research reports, scholarship recommendations, essay feedback, and coaching guidance, is produced by artificial intelligence and may contain errors, omissions, or outdated information. Users should independently verify all critical information.

Scholarship amounts, deadlines, and eligibility criteria are subject to change at any time — always verify directly with the institution or scholarship body before relying on any information provided by the Service.
