Congratulations on taking your first step in the college application process 🎉 We’re cheering you on!
Coalition Colleges are committed to graduating students on time and with less than average amounts of debt. You can apply to many of these schools with Scoir.
Before starting your application, let’s get a lay of the land. Once you familiarize yourself with the application process, you’ll have everything you need to begin applying!
How Apply with Scoir Works
Applying with Scoir is a 2-part process completed in this order:
- In Part 1, complete and submit Core Questions on Scoir (core questions are the same from one Coalition college to the next)
- In Part 2, complete and submit Supplemental Questions on the college’s portal (supplemental questions are unique to each college), accessed via SSO from Scoir after you complete and submit part 1 of your application
You don’t have to complete the application in one sitting. You can return to edit or complete sections before submitting your final version.
Pre-populated application information
If you use Scoir with your high school, the first time you apply with Scoir, basic information will pre-populate in Part 1 of your application from your profile to help save time. You can edit as needed.
- Personal details (name, address, DOB, etc.)
- Demographic info (ethnicity, citizenship, etc.)
- School info (address, CEEB code, etc.)
- Test scores, if applicable
- Assigned counselor
Importing application information
In Part 1 of the application, you'll fill out 5 stages:
- Personal
- Family
- Education
- Essay & More
- Review & Submit
Each stage has multiple sections to complete. Some sections, like those in the Personal and Family stages, are synced so that so that once completed, any changes to one will update the applications where you've chosen Scoir as your application method.
Other stages, like Education and Essay & More are unique to specific colleges. You have the option to import these if you wish to reuse the same information in another application.


Now, let’s take a closer look at the application process 👀
Starting an Application
There are few ways to begin applying with Scoir throughout the student experience.
From your dashboard, you can begin an application by clicking Apply with Scoir card. You can also click Apply with Scoir from the top navigation on any page.

From My Colleges, you’ll see the lightning bolt on colleges where you can apply with Scoir. You can either use the application button on the college card to go directly to the application, or click the college tile to see more details and select Open Application.

From Discover > Colleges, you can filter Application Methods by Scoir and then choose Apply to begin your application.
If you haven’t indicated first year deadline, you’ll be asked before you can move forward.

Part 1: Complete and submit core questions on Scoir
Here’s a rundown of the Core Questions you’ll complete on Scoir, accessed across 5 stages. This step must be completed before you can move on to the college’s Supplemental Questions, or Part 2 in this application experience!

Next Steps
Once you've completed both parts of your application, here's what to do next!
When your high school uses Scoir
If your high school uses Scoir, your next step is to head over to My Colleges > Application Documents and request your Letters of Recommendation via Application Documents.
By submitting Part 1 of the application, your counselor is automatically notified to send documents on your behalf!
When your high school does NOT use Scoir
If you created a Scoir account in order to apply to college, your next step is to head over to My Colleges > Docs & Recs, and request documents be sent on your behalf by adding a School Official, whether your school counselor, or if you're a transfer student, a registrar.

In this space, you'll also request your Letters of Recommendation, indicating if the recommendation should be sent to a specific college or kept for general use.

That's it! Congratulations on beginning to apply to college with Scoir! 🎉
