Impact & measurement
How AidBridge measures impact
AidBridge is a free, student-led project. We care about whether it actually helps students — not about impressive-looking numbers.
Where we are right now
Impact measurement is still being developed. AidBridge does not currently publish verified outcome statistics. We will publish real, privacy-protected results only after enough data has been collected, checked, and reviewed — and we will label estimates as estimates.
What we plan to measure
- Students who complete useful actions (like finishing an aid checklist step)
- Official resources opened from AidBridge
- Applications students report starting
- Deadlines students mark as completed
- Outcomes students voluntarily report back to us
Anything we publish will be anonymized and aggregated — never individual students' information.
Our honesty commitment
AidBridge does not guarantee scholarships, admission, employment, financial aid, or savings. It is not a substitute for your counselor, financial aid office, or other professionals. When we do publish numbers, we will explain exactly how they were measured.
