DISSCHOLARED is an ed-tech platform powered by YesSheCanCampaign that helps students and families understand universities' private scholarship policies and the practice of scholarship award displacement. Our goal is to ensure students and families can make informed college and financial decisions. Impact 1) Our work inspired the federal government to develop "The Helping Students Plan for College Act," the first in the nation bill that addresses scholarship award displacement nationwide. 2) Our work inspired New Jersey to ban scholarship award displacement at all public universities in New Jersey. New Jersey became the second state in the nation to outlaw this practice. 3) We created the first in the nation database that showcases private scholarship policies. The database allows students and families to understand how private scholarships will impact their financial aid. Our mission is to make private scholarship policies, more transparent. 4) In November 2021, we launched our first Virtual Scholarship Fair that provided information about scholarships and scholarship award displacement to students in a fun, informative, and interactive way. 5) We are working with students, families, nonprofits, schools, and scholarship providers to provide information about scholarship award displacement through our workshops, digital content, and research.
