Why Sponsor
- 1–2 hours of confusing online forms stand between many students and scholarships worth $60,000 – $400,000.
- Families juggling jobs, siblings, and tech hurdles often stall out.
- A modest cash incentive plus ConwayUP guidance raises completion rates dramatically.
- Your pledge is due only when the student’s paperwork is 100% verified.
How It Works
- You pledge $250 per student (or any multiple). No money up front.
- ConwayUP tracks each student’s progress through FAFSA, state-aid, and program-specific forms.
- When everything is officially “✅ Complete,” we invoice you and transfer the award to the student.
- If the student stops short, you owe nothing; the pledge simply expires.
Benefits to Sponsors
- Logo or name featured on our Sponsor Wall (site footer rotation)
- Thank-you shout-out on ConwayUP social channels

- The satisfaction of opening doors that once felt locked

Frequently Asked Questions
How can a $250 pledge unlock up to $400,000?
Many elite “last-dollar” scholarships—like the QuestBridge National College Match—cover full tuition, housing, and fees at top universities. One ConwayUP co-founder, Joshua Mendoza, is a QuestBridge College Prep Scholar applying this fall; we aim to find several more each year. When students finish the paperwork, six-figure offers follow.
When do I pay?
Only after ConwayUP verifies the student has completed every required application step. We’ll email an invoice with payment options.
Can I sponsor more than one student?
Absolutely. Choose any pledge amount in $250 increments or contact us for a custom agreement.
What happens if the student never finishes?
No payment is due; your pledge simply expires for that cycle.
How are students matched to sponsors?
First-come, first-served. We pair each pledge with a student who meets income guidelines and commits to a target scholarship program.
