What families and educators are saying
Trusted by families and educators.
“This is an incredible tool. It finally gives structure to everything students do before applying to college.”
Christina Winter
Educator & Parent · Lead in Literacy / Sure Start Reading
“The college journey can feel overwhelming for kids with learning challenges but CollegeHound makes it manageable.”
“Knowing where to start is often a roadblock for students with ASD, ADHD and executive function challenges. CollegeHound lessens that burden by providing a clear framework that starts as early as 9th grade, building crucial skills like planning, time management, working memory and organization over several years.
This long-term approach helps students stay on track and reach deadlines with reduced stress. Its personal assistant, Scout, is a standout feature that sets realistic goals, identifies gaps in applications, and uses AI to match individualized interests to schools that are the right fit for specific learning needs.
As an executive function coach who works with kids with learning differences, I would highly recommend this platform. It helps break down large tasks into smaller steps, improves the quality of applications, reduces overwhelm, and empowers students to take ownership and accountability during the college journey.”

Here is why we charge for Scout instead of making it free and selling ads or taking referral fees from colleges: because the moment we take money from a school, Scout stops working for your family.
No college pays us to be recommended. No ad network sees your data. Scout works for you because you pay for it. That is the whole model.
