About
Mortarboarder is an online gifting and crowd-funding platform for college students. More than just a gift registry, Mortarboarder aims to create a support system for students using not just their existing networks of family, friends, and social circles, but also benevolent donors on the Internet who are interested in investing in the academic future of the next generation. Mortarboarder makes it easy for students to request and receive exactly what they need for college. Students can create profiles and add items to their registry ranging from tuition, room and board, meal plans, books, gift cards, dorm supplies, and even refractometers. The profiles can be shared with personal contacts and networks, or made public to reach interested donors. The site gives the students tools and flexibility to present their backgrounds and interests, university and major, grades, and most importantly, what they need the most to be successful in college.
