Supporting Students on Their Path to College with the New CodeHS & RaiseMe Partnership
CodeHS is proud to partner with RaiseMe to support students on their path to college by earning micro-scholarships for their achievements in high school!
Now, any high school student who is currently enrolled or has completed an AP course on CodeHS can create a RaiseMe account and start earning college scholarships! With over 250 colleges and universities offering scholarships on the RaiseMe platform, CodeHS students have unparalleled opportunities.
What is RaiseMe?
RaiseMe is a social enterprise focused on expanding access to higher education, especially among low income and first generation students. Rather than waiting until the end of high school to earn scholarships, which is often too late to impact a student’s college ambitions or choices, RaiseMe enables students to earn scholarships throughout high school for doing all the things that best prepare them to succeed. This includes getting good grades, volunteering in the community or joining an extracurricular activity.
How does it work?
Any student who has taken or is currently enrolled in an AP Computer Science Principles or AP Computer Science in Java course on CodeHS can create a free RaiseMe account and submit their coursework to earn scholarships!
