Case Study: Meeting Street Schools improves college planning tools with Colophon New Media

Meeting Street Schools builds College Reports for 550+ scholarship recipients with Colophon New Media

Meeting Street Schools, an education provider in South Carolina, faced the challenge of expanding its website to help prospective college students understand the demographics and true costs of universities. The organization needed to present a large database of complex, annually changing statistics in a clear and digestible format. They partnered with vendor Colophon New Media for web design, programming, and hosting to develop dynamic tools for this purpose.

Colophon New Media collaborated with design firm truematter to program and implement a new WordPress-based section for the website. The solution featured a custom "Compare Colleges" tool for side-by-side statistical analysis and a "College Cost Calculator" to estimate expenses and scholarship coverage. This provided students with clear, accessible information to aid their decision-making process, supporting the fund's mission to reach over 550 recipients across all 46 counties in South Carolina.
