For districts, networks, and college access organizations
Getting in is a milestone. Getting through is the job.
Scoir is built for the application. Overgrad keeps the record going through enrollment, persistence, and the credential.
The application is the beginning
Getting applications out the door has to happen. Knowing who came back for sophomore year is the part your board asks about.
This comparison reflects what each product emphasizes, based on public information. What a school actually gets depends on how it is configured.
One student record that keeps going after the acceptance letter.
Overgrad holds college planning, applications, confirmed enrollment, persistence each term, and whether the student finished. The record does not close when the application is sent.
What Scoir does well
Scoir is good at the application itself, for students and for admissions offices.
- Applications and documents sent and tracked in one place
- College search that students can use on their own
- A recruiting network that colleges pay to reach students through
- Low cost. Free for students, and priced per student for schools.
Scoir serves students and admissions offices while the application is in flight. That is where its work ends.
Plenty of teams start with an application tool, then find their outcome numbers still live in a spreadsheet.
"Overgrad has made college planning more accessible for scholars and more intuitive for counselors. By streamlining data and providing clear, real-time insights, we're able to move from static reporting to timely action—improving both the advising experience and our ability to support scholars."
What Overgrad adds
For teams measured on who finished, not how many applications went out.
Know what happened after they enrolled
Application tools stop at the acceptance letter. Overgrad verifies enrollment through the National Student Clearinghouse and keeps checking each term.
- Enrollment updated automatically
- Alerts when a student stops attending
- Transfers tracked across colleges
- Completion tracked through the credential
Track every path a graduate takes
Application tools point at four-year colleges. Overgrad tracks community college, apprenticeships, trades, military service, and going straight to work with the same care.
- Two-year and community college
- Apprenticeship and trade programs
- Military enlistment
- Employment outcomes where available
Reach a student before they are gone
When the data shows a student did not register, Overgrad turns it into a task for a counselor. Somebody finds out while there is still time to call.
- Alerts when a student stops attending
- Case management for persistence coaching
- Re-enrollment tracked to the end
- Campaigns that catch summer melt
Stay in touch after they leave
Application tools have no reason to message a graduate. Overgrad has texting and email built in, so check-ins and deadline reminders come from the same place the record lives.
- Two-way texting, so graduates can answer
- Email when that is the better channel
- Alerts when a student hits a milestone
- Follow-up sequences that use each student's name
