AidBridge

About AidBridge

Too many students decide on college without clearly understanding the cost. Most families aren't avoiding responsibility — they're trying to decode a confusing system. AidBridge makes the numbers clear.

What AidBridge does

  • Explains aid letters in plain language
  • Separates free money from loans
  • Tracks important deadlines
  • Helps draft respectful appeal emails

What it doesn't do

  • Replace counselors or financial aid offices
  • Guarantee more aid
  • Give legal, tax, or official financial advice
  • Ask for SSNs or unnecessary personal data

An independent, student-led project

AidBridge is built for students and families, with outreach focused on first-generation, low-income, and immigrant-family students. The self-serve tools are free to use, and verified impact information will be published only after enough privacy-protected data has been collected and reviewed.
