This is a searchable database of colleges, scholarships opportunities and academic resources. It offers a comprehensive college/university index with good graphics and some interesting resources for financial aid and scholarships. It also offers "online" application processing (for "featured schools" only, of which there are relatively few). The applicant enters her/his data once, and the service forwards the data to the applicant's selected schools.
