Our Story
Let’s be Frank: College tuition is too damn high.
We founded Frank with a rebellious spirit and a big goal: students should pay less for college.
In less than three years, Frank has become the #1 go-to place for students to get financial aid for college. How did we do it? From day one, our approach has been clear: students always come first.
We deliver exceptional value by:
Creating a simple FAFSA® that students love.
Connecting students with scholarships and state aid opportunities.
Streamlining aid appeals for students who didn’t get enough aid.
Advocating for students to receive emergency grants and support them in the middle of a worldwide pandemic.
Locking in course discounts for over 8,200 courses at hundreds of colleges and universities.
Providing the tools and resources you need to create a brighter financial future.
