SchooLinks provides a framework to help students figure out what careers might suit them - and how to get there - through a multitude of features from personality tests to financial aid calculators.
Founded in 2014, the company has grown its market position over the years, as it continues to develop and improve its features and integrations. For example, a partnership with Common App enabled students using SchoolLinks to directly apply to over 900 higher education institutions.
SchooLink's history of growth, coupled with substantial funding, has enabled it to solidify its place within the market. A brand refresh in 2025 saw the company focus on smart design that anticipates user journeys, enhancing the user experience on top of revitalizing its image.
