Student Search Service ("Search")

Search is a voluntary program that connects students with colleges and scholarship organizations. If you opt-in, we will share information about you that you provide to College Board (including without limitation your name, address, email, date of birth, the high school you attend, your expected graduation year, score ranges on SAT, AP, or PSAT 10 and PSAT/NMSQT tests, information you provide during test registration, testing and when using the College Board college planning website, BigFuture) with participating nonprofit accredited colleges and universities (domestic and international), nonprofit scholarship providers, and government agencies administering educational programs (“Education Organizations”). More information is available at Connect With Colleges and Scholarships – Student Search Service. 

Education Organizations will use this information to send you (and your parent/guardian if they have opted in) email and postal mail informing you about their educational, financial aid, and scholarship opportunities. The frequency and mode of communication are determined by each organization, and every communication they send is required to contain instructions for unsubscribing. Being contacted by Education Organizations doesn’t mean you have been admitted. You must apply to be considered for admission. Education Organizations may pay a license fee to College Board to license (use) your information. College Board uses these license fees to help support its mission-driven work. Students and parents/guardians do not pay a fee for Search. Education Organizations may only use your information for the purpose of sending you information about their opportunities. They may not share your information with others except their contractors such as direct mail service providers, and they may only keep your information for a limited time.

You can opt out of the Student Search Service™ program at any time in your privacy settings at my.collegeboard.org/profile/privacy, by emailing [email protected], by completing the Your Privacy Choices webform, or by writing to:
