Happy New Year! As we head into a new year, we want to say a sincere thank you for being part of the Red Kite community. Students, parents, and educators, you’re the reason we do this. Whether you’re applying for scholarships, helping your student make a plan, or supporting learners in your school or community, we’re grateful for your time, your trust, and the work you do to support students on their education journey.
What’s Next at Red Kite
We’re excited about what we’re building to support you even more in the year ahead. Here’s what you can look forward to in the new year:
More ways to find money (faster).
We’re expanding scholarships and funding resources so you can keep uncovering opportunities you actually qualify for.
Stronger support for graduate students.
New grad-focused resources are on the way, including guidance for common grad school costs and smarter ways to plan ahead.
Smarter private student loan tools—when loans are part of the plan.
We’re continuing to build tools to help you budget, compare options, and understand what to look for so you can feel confident (and avoid surprises).
Help when you need money ASAP.
If a bill is due and you’re short, we’re adding more “last-minute” resources, campus-based options, quick action steps, and ways to reduce what you need to borrow.
