Unlike other major Learning Management System platforms, you may join Edudaris® regardless of whether you are currently enrolled in a course or educational institution, such as a high school or college. Other LMS platforms allow you access to their sites only while you are enrolled in a course, after which you have to leave. Also, students may not establish permanent connections or connect with anyone other than a small, closed group.

Edudaris® is an educational network that will grow with you. You may connect and network with whomever you like and use your connections to allow you to reach your academic and professional goals. Additionally, the personal file storage feature allows you to store your files for 24/7 access at no charge.
Edudaris® offers free to all educators and students a customizable Path to Scholarships® e-course and a Path to Scholarships® Career, College, and Scholarship Planning e-Portfolio.

The Path to Scholarships® Career, College, and Scholarships Planning e-Portfolio has been developed for you as an easy to follow e-course. Path to Scholarships® is NOT just about information, facts, and scholarships. It is the vehicle that motivates and inspires students to dream great dreams and to plan and prepare for college and scholarships. It is a career, college, and scholarship planning guide that empowers students with checklists, planning forms, and organizational tools that assist students to reach their dream of college.

Colleges and scholarships on the site are seeking students, like you, who "fit" a certain profile. This means that the information you put on your profile, such as age, gender, classification, GPA, ethnic background, interests/hobbies, region of the country, etc. help them find you. Your information lets you know the colleges and scholarships for which you qualify. You will be sent notifications and it is completely up to you to pursue these opportunities. Remember, your personal information, such as your name, address, phone number, personal files, etc. is always safe and never shared or sold to anyone.

Students and educators complete a profile. Once the profiles are complete, the matching to profiles begins. If a match is determined, the student and/or parent, if the student has inputted the parent/guardian e-mail, also receives a notification that a match has been made providing an opportunity to pursue.

By completing your profile, you are creating opportunities for successful matches for scholarships, vocational and technical programs, undergraduate and graduate programs, volunteer and communty service, job shadowing, internships, employment, study abroad and work overseas. Your information should be updated regularly to keep matches accurate.

Sponsors pay to build customer loyalty, brand recognition, and create offers to market to high school and college educators and students. In addition, site licenses for the learning management system are available for purchase by educational institutions. This allows us to provide you with a free service.  Users information is never shared or sold.

If an educator wishes to create multiple e-courses for two or more classes, the educational institution (i.e. school or college) would purchase a site license.

Since you will be networking with other students, educators, and professionals, it is best to portray professionalism. Also, using a separate email account prevents you from missing any important emails from colleges, scholarships, etc. There are a variety of free email services you may use.

This is for your safety, but it is optional. As it is our goal to maintain the highest level of security for minors, we ask you to enter your parent's/legal guardian's email address when you register so that when a teacher, counselor, college representative, etc. contacts you with any kind of information, a notification will also be sent to your parent's/legal guardian's email. Please note that this does not mean that your parent/legal guardian will have access to your account or profile on Edudaris™, they will only see a notification in their email account.

In order to maintain the highest standards of safety for the students we require that educators and sponsors submit a verification document and update it yearly. 

As a student, you may join at no cost and begin connecting and communicating with any other user on the site. If you wish to also have your friends or counselor/teacher on the site, simply send an invitation to that person.
