How Our Core Service Works:

Customers sign up on our web portal to schedule services on their respective campuses. Packing supply kits are shipped out to students as requested. The student packs their items, uploads a few photos to our portal, selects their desired insurance, locks it in their room, and can leave at will. Thanks to our partnership with the university, our staff comes in once the campus is vacant and moves all of the student belongings into a storage facility for the summer. The best part is that the items will be ready and waiting in the customer’s new housing assignment whenever they return.

Storage Scholars is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
