  • March 6, 2022

From expanding offerings to operations, the Empowerly College Counseling is growing quickly in response to an increased need for academic counseling. Notably, the Empowerly team recently announced a successful $10 million fundraising round in early 2022. In addition to matching more students with the right resources, Empowerly sees great things on the horizon. This incredible news promises even more growth and more services to come from the Empowerly team! 

What makes Empowerly special?

What makes Empowerly work so well that investors have taken notice? In addition to the sheer dedication and passion of our entire team, Empowerly is ideally positioned to maximize both qualitative and quantitative resources for student success with our patent-pending Empowerly Score®. 

The Empowerly Score® is a highly-adaptive, data-driven algorithm that helps students isolate areas for best improvement according to their individual academic profile. The product and engineering teams, who are responsible for the technology-based platform that brings Empowerly to your fingertips, are among the areas that are tapped for expansion in the coming months.

Besides our Best Match Counseling® and Empowerly Score®, our team is busy helping students apply for summer research programs, internships, and more in order to round out their educational profile outside of the classroom. Students approaching senior year deadlines will find plenty of resources to assist with college applications including essay editing, interview prep, and even the scholarship search.

With a team of former admissions officers, expert college counselors, and experienced professionals, students and families can rest assured their needs are being taken care of from every angle. And as the company continues to grow to better serve students, we know great things are ahead!
