Answers

Common questions, short answers.

What kind of site is Stipenova?

We are Stipenova, a brand of The Nelson M Group LLC. Our guides turn education grant information into short, readable explanations, free of charge.

What is the message frequency?

Message frequency varies and runs up to about 8 a month. Message and data rates may apply.

Can I sign up without an email, phone or ZIP code?

Only your first and last name, a topic and the privacy agreement. Email, mobile number and ZIP code are all optional.

Which program should I choose?

That is your decision, and we do not point you to one. We do not rank or match you with schools or programs.

Is Stipenova a school, grant program or lender?

No. Stipenova does not give out money, make loans or process applications, and the guides should not be read as financial, legal or admissions advice.

Can I ask you to erase what I sent?

Write to [email protected] or use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email.

Is there a tool that shows what I will receive?

Not here. We do not calculate awards. We explain how the pieces fit so your questions to a financial aid office are sharper.

What do I get when I sign up?

Nothing more than what you ask for: educational reading material on your topic, and optional texts that point to the guides.

Do I have to agree to texts?

No. Texts are optional, with one unchecked box. You can sign up without ticking it.

Can I submit the FAFSA here?

No. The FAFSA is filed at StudentAid.gov. We only publish background information.

Can you file my taxes?

No. We are not tax preparers. The notes explain vocabulary only.

Do you pass my name to anyone?

No. Your name and details are not given to schools, lenders, scholarship services or other partners. The Privacy Policy explains what we collect and why.

Do you place assistantships?

No.

How do I unsubscribe from texts?

Text STOP back to us. For help reply HELP or email [email protected].
