Built for families
Your student's information stays with you
Most scholarship sites ask for a full profile on your student. We built Tasseldesk to work with as little as possible.
We don't collect your student's data
Just a nickname and an expected graduation year, plus where you live, type of school and interests so we can find local matches. Never a birthdate, race, religion or other personal details.
Up to 6 student profiles
Add each student with their own nickname and graduation year, from kindergarten through senior year, and switch between them with one tap.
