Critical Evaluation

  This is a fantastic website for teens who are interested in college and furthering their career. This website is user friendly and offers thousands of resources at the click of a button. The only drawback is only being able to access this website while in a sponsored institution. This website does not resell users personal information so TFS is one of the safest websites to search for college, scholarship, and career information.

Creator Information

  No information could be found about the original creators of TFS. According to their website, TFS was created by a private company in 1987. A year later, Pepsi-Cola took over as sponsor and has been so ever since. By having the backing of such a large corporation, the company has been able to offer over $2 billion in scholarships to young adults.
  TFS is updated on a daily basis and new scholarship and aid information is added. On average, 5,000 new scholarships are added to the databases every month. New and updated scholarships appear on real time. Even though Pepsi-Cola pays for this service, no advertising of any kind can be seen while using this website.
