Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about accounts, data, scholarships, and how the platform works. Can't find yours? Ask the community or contact us.
Is CollegesNest really free?
Yes — every student feature is free, forever. We're funded by optional university partnerships and clearly-labelled sponsorships, not by charging students. See pricing.
Is the admissions and scholarship information official?
We compile it carefully from official sources and university partners, but details change. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and requirements on the institution's official page before you apply — and tell us via contact if you spot something outdated.
Who are the "verified alumni"?
Alumni profiles marked verified have been checked by our team before they appear publicly. They answer community questions and share real experiences from their universities.
Who can see my profile?
You control it section by section. Financial details are private by default and contact details are visible to signed-in students only, unless you change your privacy settings on your profile.
How do deadline reminders work?
Tap "Remind me" on a scholarship to save it to your reminders. Email and push delivery are rolling out; your saved reminders are kept with your account in the meantime.
Can I use CollegesNest for studying abroad?
Our university catalogue currently focuses on Pakistan, but our scholarships are global (Germany, UK, Turkey, Malaysia, UAE, USA and more) — along with visa and study-abroad Q&A in the community.
How do I get my university listed?
Head to For universities and send us your details — we'll set up your profile and show you how to keep it accurate.
How do I delete my account or data?
Email team@collegesnest.com from your account email and we'll take care of it, per our privacy policy.
