One app, thousands of scholarships
College is expensive. And yet many students don’t apply for scholarships. Why? Often, they don’t have the time, or the patience, to sift through lots of possibly-spammy scholarship lists.
So we built a free scholarship search and application platform that makes it easier for students and parents to find and apply to scholarships online. We currently work with 10,000 high schools, and our site hosts millions of dollars worth of scholarships. Oh, and we personally upload and vet each scholarship, so that you know it’s legitimate.
It’s easy as 1-2-3.
2. Build a profile for your child (using their name and info). We’ll walk you through this process with some simple questions.
3. Get matched! Based on your profile, we’ll show you a list of scholarships your child is eligible for.
They are then able to apply for any of these scholarships, right from our website. For each application, we even pre-fill in all their profile information for them. That’s why high school counselors love us.
Check out our full How it Works post, to get more details about the platform, including screenshots and tips for scholarship success!

1. Help them shortlist scholarships. Once you’ve matched to scholarships, you’ll likely want to make a list of ones you actually intend to apply for. To do this, hit the heart to favorite a scholarship (see screenshot in step #5 here). You can then see all your favorited scholarships in one place by navigating to Scholarships > Favorite Scholarships.
2. Send them helpful guides. Between college applications, financial aid, SATs and APs, and just graduating high school, there’s lots happening in your child’s life right now. That’s why we’ve started writing guides to help your family in this phase of your child’s life. Here are just some:
