Cappex is an innovative website that offers academic resources for current students, graduates, and returning students alike. Everything from scholarships, grants, college campus tours, applications, and even an easy to understand system that allows website users to evaluate their chances of being accepted into a college is available.

Upon the completion of a short and free membership process, users can explore a multitude of tools that create an unparalleled access to scholarships numbering in the hundreds; whether they’re in high school, seeking to pay for college, already in college, or haven’t been to school in years, there are more than enough scholarships available to students.

One of the most comprehensive tools on the site is a collection of college biographies. These pages include statistical information such as admission rates, number of graduates annually, student reviews, deadlines, tours, videos, photos, the calculated costs of attendance, scholarships specific to that school, and so much more.

It’s pleasing to say that Cappex is not all serious; users are rewarded for using each resource as well as sharing the website with their friends by receiving multiple virtual hats that relate to the activities they do by a theme.

For example, when someone mentions any sports or extracurricular activities they have been involved in in their profile information, they receive a helmet award that is added to their online collection. The more hats they amass and the more activities included go towards a series of exclusive scholarships as the membership levels increase from newbie, to rising star, college pro, and rock star; the highest level. This interactive system encourages users to revisit the site and accomplish more tasks, which will benefit users and the site; it’s a win-win for everyone.

Overall, Cappex is a great start for those planning to attend or return to college. It will save students a lot of time searching school for options, collecting the funds to finance their education, and is quite simply a joy to use.
