We do not collect individual information about visitors to our Web site, however, we do use standard software to collect combined, aggregate information for the strict purpose of analyzing this Web site's traffic and usage. This allows us to better understand how many people access our site and which pages are most popular.

The Scholarship Search Engine abides by federal law and the guidelines established by the Federal Trade Commission regarding youth privacy. Therefore, we will not knowingly collect any personal information from or allow the registration of young people under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a person under the age of 13, we will promptly take all reasonable steps to delete the data from our system.

We will not share your personal information with nonaffiliated, third parties except as required or permitted by federal law or regulation. For example, we may share your personal information with schools, lenders, agencies of the United States government and their agents, credit-reporting agencies, and with third-party servicing organizations. These third parties are required to use your personal information for its intended purpose only.

Any personal information you share with us will be protected.
