OneMain Partners with Scholly to Help Students Attend College

EVANSVILLE, Ind.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–OneMain Holdings Inc., America’s premier consumer finance company
offering responsible and transparent personal loan products, is proud to
partner with Scholly, an easy-to-use mobile application that helps
students find and apply for college scholarships. Together, they are
offering OneMain customers free access to the Scholly app, where they
can get the guidance and support they need to find college scholarships.

“Attending college is an important step towards financial security, and
it’s a step many of our customers are unable to take due to a lack of
resources or understanding of just what support may be available to help
them,” said Sheldon Caplis, Director of Community Engagement at OneMain.
“OneMain is committed to helping our customers build their credit and
increase their financial awareness and this partnership with Scholly is
a natural extension of our goal to make our customers’ lives better.”

In 2014, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco reported* that the
average college graduate earns over $800,000 more than the average high
school graduate by retirement age. This additional earnings potential
could be life-changing for many families and would have a significant
positive impact in the communities where OneMain has a presence.

“Working with OneMain to help its customers navigate the college
scholarship process is an exciting opportunity for Scholly,” said Jordan
Goldenberg, Chief Marketing Officer and Creative Director at Scholly.
“Together, OneMain and Scholly can have a real, meaningful impact on
thousands of families in hundreds of communities across the country.
This is what the Scholly app was all about when we designed it and it
fits perfectly with OneMain’s customer commitment.”

Since offering OneMain customers free access to the Scholly mobile app,
these users have applied for over $45 Million in scholarships. OneMain
and Scholly are encouraging all OneMain customers to sign up to find out
what kind of financial assistance may be available to help them take the
steps they need towards a better education and a brighter financial
future. OneMain is offering the Scholly app free to the first 50,000
OneMain customers and selected community colleges and nonprofit
organizations who download it.
