About Empowerly
Empowerly (Empowerly.com) is an education technology company that personalizes college and career counseling, with a mission to empower students to become the most successful version of themselves.
We provide data-driven education technology, start-up and research internship programs, and personalized counseling led by former Admission Officers and experienced College Admissions Counselors. We are a rapidly growing, mission-driven, and venture-backed company. It takes a unified team committed to our core values (collaboration, data driven, and empowerment) to achieve this goal and a fast-moving team committed to serving the needs of our students and families.
Each student is holistically evaluated through our Empowerly Score™ — the only predictive technology that can also quantify subjective material. Each student is offered a three-pronged approach to evaluate academics, essays, and extracurricular activities, providing them with a 360-degree view of how to be competitive against other applicants.
We are a fully remote, global workforce focused on building world-class, college admissions advisory services and programs.
