A growing interest is placed on a unique specializes database called the College Bound Students database. This file consists of names and addresses of High School students who are planning to attend a college or university after they graduate from High School.
The list is selectable by the year of school they are currently in High School and the curriculum they plan to study. The data for this type of mailing list is captured at the high schools themselves. This is done by collecting the names and addresses of those students who complete financial aid applications.
The benefit for the student is that once they complete the financial aid application, they receive free information on financial assistance programs to help them. With so many types of programs available to the High School student who is considering higher education, the benefits package they receive is very helpful. The student must complete their application in order to receive this informative package, so the system is a win-win for everyone.
Today’s high school teenagers, most of them in the higher-education bound group are influencing the U.S. economy in excess of $240 billion annually. Savvy marketers use this list product to promote such items as student loan, high tech items, scholarships, automobiles and accessories, credit cards education, telecommunications products, and further education.
Not all students in high school will say they will be going to college, nor will all those saying they want to go will actually go. That’s why it’s important to make allowances for this type of data. It’s important to remember their will always be some degree of inaccuracy with this, and all, databases.
