The digital binder.
A shared workspace where your family keeps everything that matters for college — organized from freshman year through graduation.
- Grades, activities, and testing — captured once, used everywhere.
- Essays and documents — every draft saved, nothing lost.
- College list, scholarships, and deadlines — always current, always shared.
Instead of what you're doing now.
If any of this looks familiar, you're in the right place.
Instead of
- Spreadsheets that go out of date
- Notes apps no one else can see
- Email threads and text chains
- A folder of documents nobody can find
You have
- One shared system
- Everything in one place
- Always up to date
- Visible to the whole family
How it works.
Three simple steps — built for families, not just students.
Add your student
Create a shared family workspace in minutes. Parents can set it up — your student joins when they're ready.
Talk to Scout — your binder fills itself
Tell Scout about your student — scores, activities, colleges, goals. Scout adds it to your Binder, proposes next steps, and keeps everything organized.
You stay on track — without chasing deadlines
Deadline alerts, personalized next steps, and progress the whole family can see. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Two tiers. Launch Pass gets both.
The Binder is free forever — for every family, every grade. CollegeHound Plus adds Scout AI guidance for $15/month or $150/year — free for Launch Pass holders through May 2027.

How Plus actually works
Meet Scout. A conversation, not a chatbot.
Scout is the AI assistant inside CollegeHound Plus. You tell Scout about your student — grades, interests, family situation, target schools. Every question you ask sharpens what Scout knows about your family, specifically.
Scout remembers across four years.
Not just the conversation. Not just the session. The whole journey — freshman year through graduation.
Scout learns your family, specifically.
Every input makes the next suggestion more accurate — for your student, not a generic student. The longer you use it, the more valuable it becomes.
Your information stays yours.
Not used to train public AI models. Not shared with other families. Private by design.
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 utilizes AI capabilities 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.”

Built by parents who've been through it.
We're Shelley and Ed Psyk. Between us, we've raised seven kids over 24 years. Not every path looked the same — but every one involved planning, decisions, and information in too many places. We built CollegeHound because college planning was always scattered across spreadsheets, emails, and apps. The Launch Pass helps us build the tool we wish we'd had.
Private by design
We don't collect last names, birthdates, addresses, or SSNs. Identifiers are redacted before any AI sees your data.
Built by parents
Six application cycles across 24 years between our kids. We built what we wished we'd had.
Current, not stale
Every answer carries a freshness stamp. Our research refreshes weekly — not once, years ago when a model was trained.
