The Zogo app and module tracking

As long as you are in the U.S. Bank Student Scholarship version of the app, we are able to see how many modules you have completed and you will be put in the prize pool accordingly. You do not need to “submit” anything as we are live tracking.  

If you created a Zogo account prior to the U.S. Bank Student Scholarship, you will need to request an app transfer.  Rest assured, modules completed within the Scholarship sweepstakes period (February through October 2026) will count toward your Scholarship eligibility, even if you are waiting for an app transfer.

The Zogo team will try to facilitate an app transfer within 72 hours after you submit the request. A transfer will only take effect if the Zogo team has located an account with the credentials provided. If, within a week of submitting the form you have still not been transferred, please contact scholarships@zogofinance.com.

You can earn gift cards even if you don’t win the scholarship. In the Zogo app, you can earn “coins” for completing modules. These coins (the in-app currency) can be exchanged for gift cards in the “Marketplace” section of the app, subject to availability. Once you successfully redeem a gift card, it will be sent to your email on file.

In the Zogo app, navigate to your profile, then to “Settings,” and ensure that “You’re opted in” is selected under “Opt Out of Data Sharing.” You may have to toggle this on to allow U.S. Bank the ability to verify module completed totals during and after the Scholarship sweepstakes period.
