The high school opportunity network

NextGrad is North America’s largest higher education media network, operating inside 1,100 high schools in 80 markets, 30 American states, and eight Canadian provinces. We provide essential educational content that promotes local, regional and national post-secondary programs – helping high school graduates decide what’s next.

Our high school media network provides unrivaled access to hard-to-reach students and their key influencers, when and where they’re making critical decisions about their future. Located in high traffic locations, the NextGrad network is seen about 3.5 times per student every school day, eight hours a day, nine months a year, delivering over 100 million monthly and over 1.3 billion annual impressions.

Our partners include colleges, universities, and other post-secondary educational institutions and programs, higher ed marketing agencies, military recruiters, public health advertisers, programmatic media platforms, and other educational marketers interested in reaching high school students during the school day. We also operate a digital marketing practice for our partners, providing comprehensive digital marketing and media services, including planning and buying, campaign management, creative development, programmatic media, and metrics reporting that increases efficiency and effectiveness, while maximizing reach and ROI.

Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Salt Lake City, NextGrad is mission focused. We inspire every high school student in North America to advance and succeed, and we live our mission by awarding a generous scholarship to a First Generation or Student of Need every year in every high school in our network. So far, we’ve donated over USD $600,000 to deserving student scholars across the U.S. and Canada, and we’re just getting started.
