Discover Unveils Ultimate One-Stop Website to Answer the Most Important Questions about College

Find Tools and Advice for Success on Topics such as Campus Visits, Application Essays, Downsizing to Dorm Life and Finding Financial Aid

The newest college planning resource for high school parents, students and guidance counselors – CollegeCovered.com – features compelling multimedia editorial content, insider tips and interactive tools to inform the college planning process and empower smart financial decision making.

Backed by Discover Student Loans, the new responsive website provides straightforward content from students and experts alike.

“Getting into and paying for college is one of the most important journeys that families embark upon, and we are excited that CollegeCovered.com can help pave that path,” said Mike Boush, senior vice president of Discover Student Loans. “This site serves as a trusted resource for students, parents, and guidance counselors on the college planning journey.”

To help redesign the site, Discover Student Loans engaged OZY Media Inc., a preferred news source among 100,000 professors, teachers and students, to help provide compelling, inspiring and helpful content on the site.

“I just sent one of my children to college for the first time and parts of the experience were daunting,” Boush said. “I can speak for myself that not having to spend hours searching multiple sites is a big help for parents."

Discover Student Loans will be showcasing the new CollegeCovered.com at the National Association for College Admission Counseling conference in Boston from Sept. 14 through 16.
