Exploring Pathways

Helping Families. Supporting the Counselors Who Guide Them.

Ask SpringPath is an AI-powered chat for college and career exploration designed to help students and parents explore careers, programs, colleges, trade schools, and scholarships — and share what they discover with their school counselors.

Family Engagement Initiative

“Ask SpringPath” Participation Grants

Ask SpringPath Participation Grants are funded in partnership with participating colleges, trade schools, and community employers that share our commitment to helping students and families explore their options after high school.

A portion of participating partner funding is dedicated to grants for high schools, creating a direct investment in the school communities helping students and families engage in college and career exploration.

As students and families use Ask SpringPath to explore pathways and opportunities, their participation helps your high school qualify for available grant funding.

How Participation Grants Work

1

No Registration Required

High schools don't need to apply, enroll, or create a grant account. When students and parents use Ask SpringPath and identify their high school, their participation is automatically connected to their school.

2

Participation Is Tracked Automatically

Ask SpringPath handles the tracking. Student and family engagement is measured automatically, with no spreadsheets, reporting, or additional administrative work required from counselors or school staff.

3

New Grants Become Available

As participating colleges, trade schools, and community employers fund new initiatives, Ask SpringPath Participation Grants become available to eligible high schools.

4

Participation Determines the Recipient

Students and families simply use Ask SpringPath to explore colleges, careers, programs, scholarships, and other pathways. SpringPath measures meaningful participation and awards each grant to the qualifying high school with the strongest participation.

Measuring Participation

How Participation Grants Are Awarded

While a percent of your total students using the app is considered, it's not the core metric. “Ask SpringPath” Participation Grants are designed to recognize meaningful student and family engagement.

SpringPath automatically measures participation throughout each grant period and creates a Participation Score for each eligible high school.
