How We Make Money | DegreeMath

We believe in full transparency about how DegreeMath generates revenue. Our business model does not influence the data, rankings, or analysis we present.

Current Revenue

DegreeMath is currently an independent, self-funded project. We do not currently generate revenue from this site.

Future Revenue Plans

We may introduce affiliate partnerships in the future. If we do, these partnerships will be clearly disclosed on any page where they appear. Potential affiliate categories include:

Student loan refinancing services
Scholarship search platforms
Financial planning tools
Test preparation services

What We Will Never Do

No sponsored rankings: Schools cannot pay to improve their position in our rankings or ROI scores. Rankings are based solely on federal data.
No paid placements: No school or company can pay to be featured or promoted on our data pages.
No data manipulation: We will never alter data presentation to favor an advertiser.
No selling user data: We do not collect personal data and have nothing to sell.

Affiliate Disclosure

If and when we include affiliate links, each page containing such links will include a clear disclosure. Affiliate relationships will never influence our editorial content, data analysis, or school rankings.
