For Parents

Many families use OppPaths together — a parent helping a student stay organized and put their best foot forward. Here is where your help matters most.

Sit with the student on the profile

The single biggest lever for good results is a complete, accurate student profile. Sit down together when creating it: you likely remember dates, awards, and details the student forgets to mention, and the AI can only work with what is actually in the profile. See Create a Student Profile.

Review generated documents together

Every generated SOP, CV, or letter is a first draft built from the real profile and the scholarship's actual requirements — never invented content. Read it together and check:

1. Every fact matches what you know to be true.
2. The voice sounds like the student, not generic AI writing — use the refine feature to adjust tone.
3. Nothing important is missing (the Complete a Framework Document guide covers what to do if you see bracketed placeholders).

What to check before submitting

Before an application goes out, confirm the deadline one more time, make sure every document the scholarship asks for has been generated and personalized, and — if you uploaded the official application form — that the document actually answers the specific prompts and fits any word limits.

Note: OppPaths never invents facts about a student. It only draws on the profile you built together and the scholarship's real requirements, which is exactly why keeping the profile accurate matters so much.

Managing more than one child

The Family Pass supports up to 3 student profiles with up to 20 projects and a credit pool shared across them, so you can track each child's applications separately from one account. See How Plans and Credits Work for the full picture.
