Get Schooled, a nonprofit group that seeks to improve college access, has received $2-million through Google’s Global Impact Awards to develop an online hub offering prospective students customized college information.

The new tool will use recommendation technology to provide personalized information to low-income students, who often lack access to college counseling and have little help navigating the college-selection process. The group plans to unveil the tool next year.

In a recent report analyzing existing college-search tools, Get Schooled found that “while there are hundreds of websites and mobile apps aimed at supporting students throughout the college preparation and application process, there are key gaps, especially for low-income students.”
