The partnership expands the availability of EAB’s student-college matching technology, Concourse, to the more than three million high school juniors and seniors who use PowerSchool Naviance CCLR to prepare for college and careers. Beginning in 2024, Naviance students will be able to easily create anonymous profiles and receive direct offers of college admission and scholarships—with no applications required. Both Concourse and Naviance feature strong privacy controls to protect students searching for colleges and scholarships.
“We’ve seen firsthand the difficulties many students face during the college admission process,” said Amy Reitz, Group Vice President of Product at PowerSchool. “We’re thrilled to partner with EAB to make college admissions more accessible for more students, driving equity and support for historically underserved students.”

Since 2020, higher education institutions have used Concourse to make almost 60,000 admission offers—and offered more than
“By enabling more direct outreach to high schools and community organizations, this partnership with PowerSchool and Naviance will enhance our efforts to help millions of students pursue their postsecondary aspirations,” Marett continued.
