Privacy Policy

Protecting the privacy of your personal information is important to us. We respect your right to privacy and recognize our obligation to keep information about you secure and confidential. We do not sell or share information about you with outside marketers.

Federal legislation requires us to provide you this notice about our privacy policy and offer a copy of this notice each year that you are our customer.

This notice uses the term "non-public personal information." This means personal information that identifies you and is not available from public sources.

  • We collect non-public personal information about you from the following sources:
    • Information we receive from you on scholarship applications, through correspondence, communications, and other forms;
    • Information received from schools you attend or formerly attended, or to which you have applied for admission; and
  • We do not disclose any non-public personal information about you or other current or former scholarship applicants to anyone, except as permitted by law. For example, we share such information with our contractors and agents, and to schools, as needed to administer your scholarship in conformance with the law.
  • We restrict access to non-public personal information about you to our employees who need to know the information, and to our contractors and agents, in order to provide service to you, such as processing your scholarship application. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in compliance with federal regulations to safeguard your non-public personal information.
