The SCOIR College Network
The mission of The SCOIR College Network is to improve access to the opportunities that a college education provides. SCOIR was founded on the belief that students are more than their SATs and GPAs and that colleges are more than their rankings. SCOIR transforms the college admissions process from a short-term, quantitative transaction to a long-term, qualitative engagement.
Students can create their SCOIR account at no cost and then use this online platform to manage their college application journey. Students can identify factors important to them in their college experience, research colleges that match those descriptors, follow social media using the College Wall, and keep track of their application steps and deadlines for admission. Parents can view the colleges their students are pursuing and access information regarding the cost of attendance for each college. Our school guidance counselor can help students navigate the application process and suggest colleges for our students to follow.
