Yes, it is free, and will always be free, for students to join CollegeZen.
Who has access to my information?
Only schools that you explicitly follow or interact with (by expressing interest in an event) have access to your information. You can also at any time unfollow a school at which point they will no longer have access to your information.
How do you keep the lights on?
We charge Colleges and Universities a small fee to publish events. The vision behind CollegeZen is to make it easier for students to find opportunities to connect with their dream schools. To that end we do not charge for the posting of scholarships or diversity events.
