More About Us
ValueColleges is all about value, and that goes for our content, too – we provide all of our rankings, guides, articles, and resources completely free of charge. Our content has always been focused on the needs of working adults, low-income students, first-generation scholars, and everyone else who appreciates value and affordability, but to do it, we have to make an income.
Financial Disclaimer
The revenue for ValueColleges comes from connecting prospective students with colleges and universities that can meet their needs. Users have the option to provide their contact information with sponsored schools through the Find Your Degree Program box, but if you don’t want to, no problem – we don’t take your info any other way. We don’t let sponsors get in the way of giving you objective, factual, and useful content either; sponsored schools have no control over our rankings.
