Common Scholarship Application Initiative, The "Common App" for Scholarships; We hope to increase the applicant pool of students who apply for scholarships by enabling students to fill out one common application (under 2 hours with parental involvement); the system filters students by the information provided on the application (GPA, family income, extracurricular activities, ethnicity, etc). Then scholarship foundations and private donors that accept the CSA will be provided with a list of qualified students for their particular scholarship, for whom they can read the personal essay and teacher rec and select an awardee. We are seeking coders for a preliminary version of the website, or others who would be interested in helping us contact scholarship foundations.
