Resources plus Q&A for prospective students and parents during admissions
The challenge
Prospective students and parents don’t always have reliable sources to turn to with questions about admissions. Underserved applicants like first-gen and low-income students face even more barriers than peers. On top of the usual stress of applications, these students must overcome challenges like little parental guidance, financial burdens associated with application fees, and balancing applications with jobs.
How Wisr can help
A network for prospective students and parents lets you provide better support during the admissions process. You can create Q&A communities mediated by trained admissions volunteers to answer prospective students’ questions like
Where should I live on campus?
Which meal plan makes the most sense?
How hard is my major?
and parents’ questions like
What financial aid options are available?
How is the job outlook for graduates?
What safety precautions should students take?
Meanwhile, students with specific needs can get more specialized resources. First-gen students, for example, can take advantage of advisors trained to help with navigating the red tape surrounding applications. Minority students can find information about scholarships they’re eligible for.
