About My College Companion
A Resource Website Built to Serve Students
At My College Companion, we recognize and embrace the fact that college is not a one-size-fits-all experience. A student's background, strengths, field of study, and interests can heavily impact their perspective on college and what their college experience looks like. With that in mind, we know that college students have endless questions about what they should expect and how they can best prepare themselves for success while they are attending college and in their future careers.
Because of this, we created My College Companion to serve as a bridge between college students and what they need to know about college. By providing a platform for this information, we aim to make aspiring and current college students more comfortable with their endeavors and make higher education more accessible in general. We answer questions such as:
- What impact will my field of study have on my college career?
- Are there ways to make college more affordable?
- How can I find the best scholarships?
- How is college different when you go to a school out of state?
- What financial aid resources are available to me?
- Are there tips to make sure I am prepared for my freshman year of college?
My College Companion is here to answer those questions and more as we guide you through your college journey. We know how daunting college can be, especially when you are a single parent, immigrant, first-generation student, military veteran, or simply a curious college freshman.
When you explore our website, you will find helpful information on various topics related to different college majors, experiences, and helpful information to help you feel more prepared. Beyond that, we showcase numerous scholarships that may be available to different types of students. These opportunities are diverse, and they are continuously expanding. These programs are updated regularly, and we encourage students to check back frequently for updates!

No matter where you come from or where you plan on going, My College Companion plans to be there for you.

Frequently
Asked
Questions
How do I find scholarships that match my major and background?
There are many scholarships available for students from different backgrounds or who are pursuing specific degrees. By searching online, you can find scholarships for specific majors, as well as scholarships for specific types of students, such as single parents or members of the military. My College Companion can help you find a scholarship that will meet your needs.
Can I still apply for financial aid if I missed the FAFSA deadline?
You will typically want to fill out your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) while you are planning to attend college. Submitting this form before you enroll in college can help ensure that you have financial aid lined up. However, even if you have missed the FAFSA deadline, you may have other options, since states and colleges have their own timelines. You may also apply for private scholarships or find other options for financial aid.
How Can I Improve My Time Management Skills in College?
It can be easy to feel overwhelmed as you begin attending college. Attending classes and completing homework and projects may be your main focus, but you will probably also want to maintain a social life and participate in activities, and you may also need to work. Finding the right balance can be tricky, but with the proper preparation, you can set yourself up for success.
To make sure you are managing your time effectively, you may want to set up a calendar to help you keep track of when you need to attend classes or labs while also blocking out time for homework, meetings with professors or advisors, study groups, social events, activities at school, or other events. You can set reminders for yourself, making sure you will not miss any deadlines and will be prepared for exams. Finding ways to prioritize what is important while still making time for yourself when necessary can help you get the most out of your college experience.
