More Than a Partnership. A Stronger Future for TRIO Students.

For decades, TRIO programs have been changing lives.

Every day, dedicated TRIO professionals help students become the first in their families to attend college, overcome financial barriers, build confidence, and pursue opportunities they may have never imagined possible.

At the heart of every TRIO program is one simple belief:

Every student deserves the opportunity to succeed.

It’s a belief we share.

That’s why we’re incredibly excited to announce the partnership between Imagine Scholarships and Red Kite.

This isn’t simply two organizations working together.

It’s two missions coming together to better serve the students who need us most.

Why This Partnership Matters

Finding scholarships is only one piece of a much bigger puzzle.

Students also need help understanding:

• Financial aid
• FAFSA
• Budgeting and financial literacy
• Student loans
• Comparing college costs
• Career pathways
• Trade schools and certifications
• Apprenticeships
• Making informed financial decisions

The reality is that many students—especially first-generation students—don’t just need information.

They need guidance.

Together, Red Kite and Imagine Scholarships provide that guidance through one connected platform designed to support students from their first scholarship search through enrollment and beyond.

What This Means for TRIO Programs

TRIO professionals wear countless hats. You’re mentors, coaches, advocates, encouragers, and problem-solvers.

Our goal is to become another trusted member of your team.

Together, we now offer:

Personalized Scholarship Matching
Students receive scholarship recommendations based on their unique background, interests, accomplishments, and education goals.

Leading Educational Content
Imagine Scholarships continues to develop courses, workshops, videos, templates, financial literacy resources, and college planning tools that empower students and families to make informed decisions.

Financial Literacy That Matters
From budgeting and borrowing to understanding the true cost of college, students gain practical life skills they’ll use long after graduation.

College & Career Readiness
Whether a student’s path leads to a four-year university, community college, trade school, certification program, apprenticeship, or the workforce, they can explore options with confidence.

Supporting Students. Empowering Families.

A student’s success doesn’t happen in isolation.

When parents understand financial aid, scholarships, borrowing, and college costs, they become stronger partners in the journey.

This partnership gives families the knowledge they need to confidently support their student’s future.

Looking Ahead

Imagine Scholarships has spent more than 15 years creating trusted educational resources used by students, parents, counselors, colleges, and organizations across the country.

Now, those resources are being combined with Red Kite’s innovative technology and personalized scholarship platform to create something even more powerful.

The result?

A smarter, more personalized experience that helps students discover opportunities, build financial confidence, and make informed education decisions.

Our Promise

Technology can make searching easier.

Strategy = Successful Pathways for each individual student’s needs.

Content can make learning easier.

But people change lives.

We’ll continue creating innovative resources, practical tools, and meaningful guidance that help TRIO professionals do what they do best: open doors, create opportunities, and change futures.

Because when students have the right support, incredible things happen.

Here’s to stronger partnerships, brighter futures, and helping every student discover what’s possible.

Together, we’re building a smarter path to paying for education.
