New England College Joins Niche Direct ϶Ƶ, Offering Immediate Acceptance and Scholarships for Qualified Students
϶Ƶ partners with Niche to expand access and streamline the college admissions experience.
New England College (϶Ƶ) announces its participation in Niche Direct ϶Ƶ®, an innovative program designed to make the college application process simpler, faster, and more accessible for students and families nationwide.
Through this partnership, students who create a profile on Niche and meet ϶Ƶ’s established academic criteria will receive an immediate offer of admission and scholarship consideration—no traditional application required.
“New England College has always been committed to meeting students where they are,” said Brad Poznanski, Vice President for Enrollment at New England College. “Partnering with Niche allows us to remove barriers and open doors for students who might not have otherwise considered ϶Ƶ. It’s about creating opportunity, offering clarity, and showing that college can be both affordable and achievable from the very first step.”
Direct admission programs are growing rapidly across the country as colleges seek new ways to connect with prospective students. The approach offers a more transparent and inclusive process—especially for first-generation, Pell Grant–eligible, and underrepresented students—by helping them understand their options early and with greater confidence.
Each year, half of college-bound high school seniors build a profile on Niche, which serves more than 50 million users annually who research and compare institutions. Through Niche Direct ϶Ƶ, qualified students can instantly see where they’ve been accepted, view scholarship offers, and learn more about schools like ϶Ƶ—all within their Niche accounts.
“Niche is changing how colleges connect with students and build their future incoming classes,” said Luke Skurman, founder and CEO of Niche. “Niche Direct ϶Ƶ provides admissions teams the tools to deliver the speed, transparency, and personalization today’s students and families expect.”
