I am going to be applying for colleges within the next month or so and was starting to get really stressed out when it came to how I would be paying for it all. Once I found Niche, everything just became much more easier and now I am able to apply for many scholarships all through Niche. Nothing really comes to mind when asked what could change; everything is great.
