Terms of use

Accepting these terms

studlift.com is run by Student Lift Network, a brand of Consumer Response Media, 1209 Mountain Road Pl NE, Ste R, Albuquerque, NM 87110. By reading the site, sending a message or signing up for updates you accept these terms. If these terms are not acceptable to you, close the site and do not sign up.

What the site offers

Student Lift Network is a free library of articles and guides about the grants, scholarships, waivers, work-study and service awards that help pay for college, sorted by who gives the money. It also sends occasional updates by email, and by text to people who choose them.

Student Lift Network is an independent education resource. It is not a government agency, a college, a lender or a scholarship program, and it has no tie to the U.S. Department of Education. It does not award, lend, decide or apply for aid, and no message from it submits an application or signs you up for a program. Filing the FAFSA is free at studentaid.gov.

Information, not advice

The articles explain how programs usually work. They cannot account for your college, your family's finances or your tax position, and they are not financial, tax or legal advice. For a decision about your own aid, ask the office that runs the program or a qualified professional.

Rules change from place to place

Federal rules apply across the country, while states, colleges and private sponsors set their own rules and dates, often revising them each award year. Use what you read here as a prompt to confirm the current rule with whoever holds the money.

Your responsibilities

Email updates are for people aged 16 or older, and texts are for people aged 18 or older or those with a parent's or guardian's permission. The name, email address and mobile number you give must be your own, and you can update or remove them at any time.

SMS text messaging

Program description

Student Lift Network runs two text programs, each with its own box on the forms, and both are recurring automated text messages sent directly by Student Lift Network to people who opt in. Account notifications confirm your sign-up or message and send status alerts about it. Marketing and promotional messages tell you about new articles and guides on the source of college money you picked and flag dates in the aid year. Every text begins with [Student Lift Network].

How you opt in

Type your own mobile number into the sign-up page, the sign-up form on the home page or the contact form and tick the account notification box, the marketing box or both yourself. Each box is optional and can be ticked on its own. A number may be signed up only by the person who uses it.

Consent

Consent is not a condition of purchase or service. Every page of studlift.com can be read whether or not you agree to texts.

Message frequency

Message frequency varies, up to 4 messages per month.

Message and data rates

Message and data rates may apply under your mobile plan. Student Lift Network does not bill you for any text.

Opting out

Reply STOP at any time to opt out and cancel. You get one confirmation text and then nothing further. Calling or emailing Student Lift Network with the same request also stops them.

Help

Reply HELP for help, or call (800) 741-9835 or email help@studlift.com, Monday to Friday, 9am - 5pm EST.

Carriers

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Privacy

Your mobile information will not be shared with any third party for marketing purposes. The SMS terms and the Privacy policy describe how numbers and consent records are stored.

Limits of responsibility

Each article is reviewed against the rules its source publishes and looked at again at the start of each award year, but programs change and no page covers every situation. As far as the law permits, Student Lift Network is not liable for loss that results from acting on the site instead of checking with the office that decides.

When these terms change

Student Lift Network may revise these terms. The date shown above marks the current version, and continuing to use the site after a revision means you accept the new terms.

Governing law

Wyoming law applies to these terms. Questions about them can go to help@studlift.com or (800) 741-9835. Letters can be posted to Consumer Response Media, 1209 Mountain Road Pl NE, Ste R, Albuquerque, NM 87110, marked for Student Lift Network.
