How scholarships are matched

Why the list is short, and why that's the point.

Matched scholarships with amounts, deadlines, and why you qualify.

Using the information you provide when you signed up, we'll match you with scholarships that fit your profile.

If we don't think you'll qualify, you won't see it. This means you won't see sponsorships, or advertising, so you can focus on the ones you can actually win.

How we do this

  • We focus on showing you local and narrow awards first because fewer people apply for them.
  • You'll see a reason under each scholarship explaining why you qualify, and what to do next.
  • Adding your intended major and first-generation status in Settings helps find more scholarships tailored to you.
