Advertising and affiliate disclosure

How GraduateLedger makes money through advertising and, in the future, affiliate links, and how we keep that separate from our content.

Advertising

GraduateLedger is free to use and is supported by advertising. Ads are displayed by third-party advertising partners, such as Google AdSense, and are labeled as advertising. We don't control which specific ads appear, and showing an ad is not an endorsement of the advertiser or its product. Ads are kept visually separate from stipend, cost-of-living and program data.

You can learn about advertising technologies and your choices in our Privacy Policy.

Affiliate links

Some pages may include affiliate links to products or services, such as banking, insurance or tax software. If you click one and make a purchase or sign up, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Where a page contains affiliate links, we say so on that page.

We only recommend products we believe are relevant to graduate students. Commissions never determine what data we show, how we rank or compare universities, or what we say in articles.

Sponsored content

We do not currently publish sponsored articles. If that changes, sponsored content will be clearly labeled as such.
