Student Resources

Introduction

At CIAT, we want to make sure our students can achieve their career goals and part of that mission is setting up student funding, sometimes through external sources. The three external sites reviewed below are great resources for students to take the first step in finding the various scholarships students may be eligible for.

Mos

Mos is a mobile app that helps students connect with scholarships, FAFSA review assistance, and other funding support. Here are the steps to download Mos onto your phone and get started:

1. Go to mos.com on your phone’s web browser to begin.

2. Click Download the Mos app.

3. On the App Store page that opens, click Get to start your free download.

4. Open your Mos app. Complete the onboarding quiz so you can get matched with scholarships.

If you have questions, interact with the Mos in-app chat so it can direct you to the right steps, answer any financial aid questions you have, send scholarship recommendations, and remind you about upcoming application deadlines.

Mos offers both free and paid subscription options; however, the Mos team has confirmed with CIAT that they are so confident in the success of their paid service connecting students with scholarships that they will only charge students $1 upfront. The rest of the fee will only be due once students have secured a scholarship. For this reason, we encourage students to sign up for the Mos paid service!

Bold.org

Bold.org is a website that uses a questionnaire to connect you with scholarships and other funding sources you will qualify for. Here are the steps to access this questionnaire:

1. Go to bold.org on your computer browser and click Apply for scholarships.

2. On the next page, click Get started.
