Advertiser Disclosure
CollegeLens is an independent, advertising-supported platform. Some lender options that appear on our site are paid placements, and we may earn compensation if you click a link or choose to apply with one of those partners.
How CollegeLens makes money
To keep CollegeLens free for students and families, we may earn revenue from lender advertising, affiliate partnerships, or referral relationships connected to some financing options shown on the site.
How sponsored placements work
Compensation may affect how, where, and in what order some lender offers appear on certain pages. Not every lender or financing product available in the market is included on CollegeLens.
Wherever sponsored lender placements appear, we aim to label them clearly and give you access to this disclosure.
What compensation does not affect
Sponsored placement does not change your uploaded award letter, your college cost analysis, your funding gap calculation, or the educational content we provide.
Our goal is to help students and families understand the real cost of college before making a borrowing decision.
What we do and do not share
We do not sell your award letter or personal financial details to advertisers. Your account data stays private to your use of CollegeLens, subject to our Privacy Policy.
