Frequently Asked Questions
How does Lantern help me?
With hundreds of career paths and college programs to choose from, Lantern helps you narrow your focus. We use your answers from our Career Interests Quiz to pair you with careers and education options that are well matched for your interests and personality. From there, we help you sort based on your preferences, and contact programs you're interested in applying to. It's that simple.
How much does Lantern cost?
Lantern is 100% free to use. After creating an account, you'll have access to Lantern's features, such as StudyMatch and the Career Interests Quiz.
How does Lantern make money?
Some of our featured schools partner with us to get the word out about their programs. These schools, bootcamps, and training centers have been vetted by our team (a bad program hurts us, too), and if they make the cut, they can join the roster of our hundreds of school options. If you end up deciding on their program and paying their tuition, we receive a standard referral fee.
