About Embark.com
Embark.com was originally launched in 1997 to help students prepare for, apply to, and finance their college educations. By 2001, Embark was the second most visited educational website, behind only College Board's site. By this time, Embark.com was considered the best resource for students pursuing their educational dreams.
Embark is proud to have re-launched Embark.com, and will continue to provide the best content, tools, and services to students looking to expand their education.
