MORE THAN A SEARCH FILTER

Personalized, eligibility-aware matching.

Access Match does more than sort by major or location. It checks explicit verified requirements first, then compares your profile with the opportunity characteristics that shape practical fit.

VERIFIED RULES FIRST

We check hard requirements before fit.

Verified requirements such as citizenship, minimum GPA, academic standing, home institution, or graduation timing are considered before a fit score is calculated.

If a requirement has not been published, Access Match does not automatically assume that you are ineligible.

PROVISIONAL MATCHES

Useful guidance, clearly labeled.

Some More Info Coming opportunities may appear when enough verified information exists to help. These provisional matches use only currently verified criteria.

Unknown information lowers confidence; it never becomes an automatic exclusion.

06After the upcoming summer, will you return to an undergraduate degree program?
