No. UsUniMatch does not provide refunds for the purchased period on paid subscriptions. Your payment grants access to the service for the duration of the plan you selected.

Open Profile → Subscription to reach our payment provider Lemon Squeezy’s customer portal. There you can turn off renewal: no further billing, and your Pro access continues until the end of the period you already paid for.

Card payments are processed through a PCI DSS-compliant payment provider; your full card number is never stored on our servers. The site is encrypted with HTTPS (SSL).

If you paid monthly three times separately, the total would be higher. By paying $24.99 total in a single 3-month package, you lower the average monthly cost. The 6-month package reduces the monthly average further if you need a longer research window.

No. UsUniMatch is a data and discovery platform that takes no commission from schools. Our goal is to make it easy for you to make your own decisions by transparently presenting cost, scholarship, and admission data side by side.

Text search (school name, city), US state, region, institution type (public/private), scholarship type (Merit, Need, Both), net cost ceiling, acceptance-rate ceiling, minimum international-student percentage, enrollment band, and sort order (e.g. net cost, scholarship, acceptance rate, name).

Cards summarize metrics such as international share, enrollment, and aid/cost figures where available.

Data is derived from CDS (Common Data Set) published by universities, IPEDS, institutional announcements, and publicly available sources. A bulk update is targeted at the start of each academic year; we still recommend verifying any official offer or scholarship condition on the relevant university's current page.

On the free plan, full profile pages are available for schools in the curated sample; outside that set you’ll see a teaser and can unlock with Pro. Pro opens full profiles across the catalog.

Fields depend on what exists in our dataset; some values may be missing. Always confirm application and aid rules on the university’s official site.

You can write to us through the contact channel (About / contact info) specifying the school name and field. We'll check the source and try to make corrections; the final official information always belongs to the university.

Summary amounts and types come from public data and institutional sources. A high “max aid” figure or a generous-looking summary does not mean you will receive that package—your offer is decided by the school.

No. What you see is a dataset summary. Your file, visa status, and school policy determine outcomes. Final aid and admission are set only through the university’s official process.

Yes. Cost, scholarship, and campus summaries help with school selection and budget planning. Check our blog guides for visa applications, I-20, and consulate processes; official procedures always belong to the US government and the university.

List cards focus on cost, aid, and admission summaries. Minimum English scores and exemptions change often—check each university’s official admissions or international pages for current language requirements.

You can browse the university list and blog without an account. Favorites are stored locally on your device for now. Signing in is required for Pro checkout and the application tracker.
