GrantMe Reviews 1.892

I think that GrantMe is good for essay help, but it does not make it any easier to win scholarships. University help was useful though.

Offers great guidance and very organized!

Very helpful answering the questions I had and advising me on my next steps throughout the university application process. My advisor, Dr. Rana, was very helpful, nice, and supportive of my decisions. It was also easy to reschedule sessions if they conflicted with my schedule. One thing I think could be improved is the scholarship process. Even after updating my profile, I found that there was still a long list of scholarships, and I had to read about each one separately. It was nice to have them all in one spot, but the quantity was a little overwhelming and it was difficult to know which ones were worth doing. Overall, it was very helpful and I received a lot of good advice!

My counselor is very helpful in guiding me through the steps in preparing for post-secondary. I have been feeling more prepared as I now know the requirements of a perfect candidate and how to reach those requirements on time for applications. She is very helpful in clearing up any questions or confusions about the process and makes it very easy to understand. Definitely a great way to prepare for the future!

I like admissionprep because it is giving me a clear path on how to apply for universities, and it makes the application process a lot less scary. My mentor is very well-knowledged and she seems like she knows what she is talking about, which is really reassuring since I am kind of nervous.

With GrantMe's support, I was awarded over $170K in funding. My advisor Jasmine was consistently available and went above and beyond whenever I reached out - whether that meant giving detailed feedback on my video interviewing skills or essays, or offering honest, firsthand advice on choosing schools and programs that effectively aligned with my career goals. She was an invaluable resource throughout the process.

What sets GrantMe apart is its philosophy: rather than writing for you, they push you to find and articulate your own voice, then help you sharpen it. It's a framework that draws out the best version of what you already have to say - and that integrity distinguishes them from a lot of other programs out there.

I'd highly recommend GrantMe to any student who is willing to put in the work, wants to help lift the financial burden of post-secondary education off their family, and is looking for a team that will genuinely meet them where they are.

didn’t get into one of my top 5 schools after following their advice as promised- asked for a refund multiple times, but they made it extremely difficult to contact them and kept pushing loopholes. DO NOT use them, you won’t get your money back.

Highly effective coaching on the preparation for the University Admissions and Scholarships applications. Our mentor Nicola Guy is absolutely committed to the success of the students. We are blessed to have a fantastic guide like her in our life.

This service was a complete waste of time and money, and I strongly caution against using them.

The core failure was delivery: We engaged this provider specifically to secure grants for postsecondary education for a high school student. Despite the significant financial commitment on our end, they completely failed to deliver any measurable result.

The worst issue, however, was the profound lack of accountability. When challenged on the broken promises and inability to secure grants, the internal staff immediately resorted to blaming each other for miscommunication and lack of follow-through. This demonstrated a catastrophic breakdown in internal systems and responsibility.

If you have discretionary funds intended for your child's future, please invest it directly in your child's education or savings plan instead of risking it here. This provider took the investment without delivering the essential service, making the experience extremely costly and disappointing.

Highway robbers. Stay away

My experience has been great. I really enjoy my meetings with Catherine Hall. However, I wish our meeting were a bit longer.

I appreciate the support, the essay editors really helped me bring my applications to life!

GrantMe was not clear with many of the requirements. All of the applications for scholarships are essay based. There are lots of scholarships to apply for, however, many not available to apply for, so limited. I have heard from others who never received any scholarships from the many applications and met all GrantMe requirements. Also if you receive any grants from OSAP or the university that gets taken off the amount paid to GrantMe, so you essentially never get your money back if you don't qualify for any scholarships through the GrantMe program. Don't waste your time and money. Apply for your local bursaries and grants you'll have a better chance.

She answered all my questions and reassured my concerns.

Promising young students a chance to win $9,000 their first year (said to me during onboarding interview is average for clients), when 4 years since purchasing I have not won a single penny in scholarship money despite many applications sent and many workshops and one-on-ones is terrible of this company to do and a tell of their "passion" for helping students. Changing policies during for purchasers without notice (ex. was told I'd get 1-on-1 help for 4 years before I purchased, then in 3rd year was told was only for 1st year) is a telltale sign of an organization with ulterior motives. Please avoid!

Misleading and useless.

So much money put it into that did not come back in scholarship money as promised. The amount of scholarships I applied to through their portal over the last 5 years has been a complete waste of time, "guaranteed return" is 100% a lie. The matches do not suffice to what you can apply for and their 1:1 mentor talks are not helpful in the slightest. DO NOT waste your time and money with this website as much as it sounds useful it is not, find your own scholarships and apply to what you can get not these!

We were told that we would be guaranteed to get a scholarship if we followed the program ans applied to at least 25 scholarshipa.. After countless applications, my son has receiced 0. Not only that he missed several deadlines of major scholarships, due to lack of organization on the part of Grant me. My son didnt need help getting into the school of hia choice. When i was sold on the program they aaid the investment has a good return of income. I would have never parted with my hard earned saved money which was 4200! Wow that could have paid for his food plan at Waterloo.

This company is a scam. The reviews are obviously fake! They do not do anything. The promise refunds and do not follow through! Please do not trust them! They are a huge scam! They will not respond to you after they take your money. We did everything ourselves….they did not help one bit. Check Reddit for the real reviews. Other reviews are fake. It is a terrible terrible company! They should be sued.

it was good and told me everything i needed to know about the ap and the goals i need to achieve

I paid nearly $4,000 for GrantMe because they heavily marketed themselves as a service that helps students win scholarships. They constantly pushed the idea that students who used their tools and guidance were securing thousands of dollars in awards, and that was their main selling point. I trusted that and followed their system, applied to over 40 scholarships, used all their feedback tools, and took their writing advice seriously. In the end, I didn’t get a single cent back. Not one scholarship.

What makes it worse is that their university consultation support was just as disappointing. It felt generic, rushed, and honestly not very helpful. For the amount of money I spent, I expected way more than vague suggestions and copy-paste advice.

I feel misled and incredibly frustrated. GrantMe made big promises and failed to deliver. If you’re thinking of signing up, I’d seriously reconsider because this was not worth the money or the stress.
