Parchment Successfully Paves Multiple Pathways to College

Starting college planning during a student’s junior or senior year in high school is quickly becoming a thing of the past. Parchment is a firm believer that developing a college-bound mindset earlier, ideally during the student’s freshman year, is in the best interest of the students and their families. Early preparation helps students fine-tune their college plans as they progress through their high school years. What are the various degree options available to me? How do I finance my college education? What are my long-term objectives? How do I ensure these objectives align with my college plans? 

“The Why” Behind Pathway to College Scholarship by Parchment

To demonstrate our commitment to the educational community and to stand behind our belief in earlier college planning and its benefits, Parchment launched the Pathway to College Scholarship program in March 2022. The three scholarships – $2,000 each earmarked for one 9th-, one 10th-, and one 11th-grader – were designed to encourage students to think ahead and map out their post-secondary school plans earlier than what has traditionally been done. 

Over 1,000 Applications Received

The 1,100+ scholarship applications we received confirmed our belief that earlier college planning is indeed becoming the norm. The scholarship application stories we received were truly inspiring!
