Frequently asked questions

A California college application organizer. You keep your college list, checklists, deadlines, essays, PIQs, scholarship notes and personal stories in one private place.

All nine University of California undergraduate campuses, all 23 California State University campuses, and these California private universities: Stanford, USC, Chapman, Loyola Marymount, University of San Francisco, University of San Diego and Santa Clara. You can also add any other college as a custom entry.

Only when we have verified it. A deadline shows up with its source and the date it was checked. Until then you'll see "Deadline not verified. Please check the university's official admissions website." You can always add the dates you find as your own personal deadlines, and the dashboard will flag them at 30, 14, 7 and 3 days.

No. The writing coach can help you brainstorm, organize your ideas and give comments on writing you have done. If you ask it to write or rewrite your essay, it will decline. Your essay should reflect your own experiences and voice.

40 AI writing-feedback interactions per season. The app always shows how many you have left. Requests that the coach declines don't use up your allowance.

270 days from the moment you buy. After that you can still open and download everything you wrote, but you can't add or edit items without a new pass.

No. $19.00 is a single payment. It does not renew automatically.

There is a 7-day refund window from the day you purchase. See the Terms for how to ask.

You must be at least 16 years old to create an account. Younger students should ask a parent or guardian to contact us before using the service.

Your essays and stories are visible to you. NXT Scholar doesn't sell your writing, doesn't use it for advertising and doesn't use it to train AI models. Our admin tools show counts and billing information, not your essays. When you ask the AI coach for feedback, the text you choose to include is sent to our AI provider to produce the reply.

Yes. "Download All My Writing" gives you a ZIP of Markdown and text files with metadata, and it keeps working after your pass expires. You can also delete your account from the same page.

No. You submit each application yourself through the college's own application system. NXT Scholar helps you stay organized and never claims to submit, send or verify anything on your behalf.
