Who built this
We are a couple with three daughters. Our oldest is Class of 2027, and we built this because we could not find it.
A and M ClaimYourCollege, operated by Silk Creative Labs LLCClaimYourCollege puts every FAFSA and state aid deadline a family faces on one runway, shows what each college will really cost after grants, and finds the scholarships their student actually fits. You offer it as a benefit. We never see their children's information.
We don't sell anything to your employees. No products, no referrals, no data collected on their kids.
Everything below is live in the product today. You can open the free version yourself at claimyourcollege.com before we talk.
FAFSA, state aid and scholarship deadlines that apply to their student, sorted by what to do next, with the whole list exportable to their calendar.
A family enters its figures and sees an estimate of the aid picture before filing. The numbers stay on their device.
The price after grants for every college on their list, side by side, instead of the sticker price.
Matched from a library covering all 50 states and the District of Columbia, re-checked against official sources every week.
Each college's offer is broken into money the family keeps and money they would have to earn or repay, with a draft appeal letter the family can send the college.
Prompts and structure that help a student write their own essay. The tool will not write it for them.
Everything a family enters stays in the browser on their own device. There are no student accounts and no database of families. A family can turn on sync, which saves an encrypted copy to their own Google Drive that we cannot read. It is off unless they turn it on.
ClaimYourCollege is educational information and a planning aid. Nobody pays us to send your employees anywhere, and we have nothing to sell them.
No integration project and no single sign-on setup. We handle each employer personally.
Tell us your head count, not names. You sign a one-page order form and we invoice your company directly.
No employee data changes hands.Share it through your benefits portal or an HR email, the way you share any other benefit. It is capped at your head count and we can switch it off at any time.
Access runs to 30 June, the end of the school year.An employee enters the code at claimyourcollege.com/employee-access/, gets their own Family Plan key and pastes it into the app. No account and no email address needed.

A and M ClaimYourCollege, operated by Silk Creative Labs LLCNo. It is educational information and a planning aid, and our terms say so. It does not recommend or sell any financial product. We don't sell anything to your employees, and nobody pays us to point them anywhere.
A head count, a billing contact and a signed one-page order form. No employee list, no file feed and no single sign-on project.
No. You get counts only: how many keys your code has issued and how many devices have turned them on. We never learn who redeemed a key, and we hold nothing about their children.
In the browser on their own device. If they turn on sync, an encrypted copy goes to their own Google Drive, and we cannot read it.
The day you share the code. There is no payroll election, so it does not have to wait for open enrollment. Access runs to 30 June, the end of the school year.
By invoice to your company, payable by card or bank transfer, net 30. There is no card on file and no automatic renewal. If a benefits broker introduced us, their fee comes out of our price and is disclosed on the order form. It is never added to it.
That is for you and your benefits or tax adviser to decide, and we don't give tax advice. Two things your adviser may find useful. Tax-free educational assistance under Section 127 covers an employee's own education, not their children's, so it usually does not apply here. And the IRS has said that informational work-life referral services employers provide are a de minimis fringe benefit (IRS Fact Sheet 2024-13), which your adviser may want to compare this with. We report counts only, never names, and we will state the retail price of the license in writing on request.
Yes. The free version is open to anyone at claimyourcollege.com with no account, and on a call we will show you the full plan an employee would get.
We will show you the plan an employee sees and answer the questions your benefits and legal teams will ask.
