Student retention, paid forward
Persistence pays.
InTuition Scholars turns a thirty-second weekly check-in into micro-scholarship dollars that build toward tuition — so students stay engaged, feel seen, and stay enrolled all the way to graduation.
Built for scholarship offices, retention teams, and the students they champion.
WEEKLY CHECK-IN
How are you doing this week?
added to your scholarship
EARNED TOWARD SPRING TUITION
$1,250.00
Next milestone $1,500.00
A small habit with compounding returns.
No essays, no hoops, no black box. One weekly moment of engagement, one visible reward — and a term-long record of who is thriving and who needs a hand.
Enroll your cohorts
Import scholars from a CSV or add them by hand, set the award per check-in, and cap each cohort’s budget for the term.
Students check in weekly
One prompt, three answers — I’m okay, I have a question, I need assistance. It takes less time than a coffee order.
Dollars build toward tuition
Every check-in earns a micro-scholarship award that accumulates in a live balance — real money, applied toward their tuition.
Two sides. One outcome: students who stay.
Universities run the program from a retention console; students carry it in their pocket. Every check-in feeds both.

Asked and answered.
The questions scholarship and retention teams ask us first — before budgets, before rollouts.
Awards come from your institution’s existing scholarship or retention budget. You decide the dollar amount each check-in earns, set per-student caps, and give every cohort a budget ceiling for the term. The reward ledger records each award and disbursement, so finance always has a clean, reconcilable trail.
InTuition Scholars is built to support your FERPA obligations. Each university’s data is isolated in its own tenant scope, staff access is governed by role-based permissions, accounts support multi-factor authentication, and data is encrypted in transit. We never sell student data or share it across institutions.
Once a week, the mobile app asks a single question with three answers: “I’m okay,” “I have a question,” or “I need assistance.” Choosing either of the last two opens a conversation with your staff. Every completed check-in earns the student’s micro-scholarship award for that week.
A retention console: check-in completion by cohort, assistance requests as they arrive, award spend against each budget, and trends over the term. Staff can send announcements by push and email, work support tickets, and export data when they need it elsewhere.
Each cohort carries its own budget: the award size per check-in, an optional cap per student, and a ceiling for the term. Spend is tracked in real time against the ceiling, and anything unspent simply stays in your budget — the platform never obligates a dollar you didn’t plan.
A roster and a budget. Import students by CSV, set the award schedule, and invite your first cohort — no SIS integration is required to start. When you’re ready to go deeper, exports and imports keep your systems in step.
See it with your cohorts in mind.
Tell us a little about your institution and your retention goals, and we’ll follow up to schedule a walkthrough shaped around how your scholarship programs actually run.
