OneGoal Chatbot is a chatbot designed by OneGoal to support high school graduates on their college and career journeys. The chatbot provides personalized assistance to students by answering their direct questions using information pulled from the GradPlan website, or from learnings created by OneGoal advisors.

In addition to being able to ask OneGoal Chatbot questions at any time, participating Fellows will receive weekly text message on topics –

  • Application and Enrollment Deadlines
  • New Scholarship Opportunities
  • Financial Aid Reminders and Updates

How our chatbot works: 

OneGoal Chatbot is trained to respond to over 2,000 commonly asked questions about life after high school and responds immediately 24/7. Where possible, the chatbot will refer you to the most current information and resources it has access to.

When communicating with OneGoal Chatbot it is best to ask a specific, short question. It is difficult for the chatbot to understand longer questions or texts that have multiple questions at once. 

Examples:

  • How do I register for class?
  • How do I apply for FAFSA?
  • Where can I apply for scholarships?
  • Where do I find my FSA ID and do I need it to apply for scholarships?
  • Hey chatbot, I am thinking about waiting until the spring to enroll, how much does that cost and do many students do that?
