The $100 data bounty

Every number links to the college’s own page. Find one that doesn’t match its source and we’ll pay you $100.

The terms

• What counts: Any figure we show as verified — with a source link and a “last verified” date — that doesn’t match its linked college page when you check it. That includes a figure that has gone out of date: if the college changed its page and we still show the old number, it counts. It also covers an estimate we work out from those figures, like the estimated net cost: if it doesn’t follow from the linked figures it says it’s built from, it counts.
• What doesn’t: The sample data shown while the “Preview build — sample colleges only” banner is up. It’s labelled as made-up test data, not any college’s real figure. Please still tell us if something there looks off. Nor does a figure marked “pending our review” or “we couldn’t re-verify this — check the source”: there, we’ve told you to check the source.
• How to claim: Use “Report a problem” next to the number, or email hello@loreeducation.com with the page you saw it on, the number, and the source link (for an estimate, the linked figures it’s built from). A screenshot helps. You never need to show what the college’s page said on our verified date — what counts is what it says when you check.
• Who gets paid: The first person to report each distinct figure that doesn’t match. One wrong figure that shows up on several pages is one claim. We pay once we’ve checked it (through a parent or guardian if you’re under 18), and we fix the number.

The same terms are part of our terms of use.

Find a figure and report it

Every figure on Lore has a “Report a problem” link beside it. Or look the college up here: every figure we show for it is listed, each with its own report link.
