How it works
01
Tell us about you
Major, school, town, what you do outside class. Most of it optional.
02
We go looking
Local news, community foundations, employers, professional societies.
03
Apply to the ones that fit
Ranked by relevance and eligibility, not by which award is biggest.
The money is there.
Most of it goes unclaimed.
Not because students lose. Because they never enter.
3 in 4
students who got no scholarship money never applied for any
We do the finding, so applying is the only part left to you.

46%
believe scholarships are only for students with exceptional grades
Most awards aren't merit-based. Plenty ask for a zip code, a hobby, or a parent's employer.
Sallie Mae / Ipsos, 2025
34%
didn't apply because they assumed nothing existed for them
We search local news, foundations, and societies specific to you — not one national list.
Sallie Mae / Ipsos, 2025
32%
assumed their family earned too much to qualify
Leaving your income blank never hides an award from you. We only filter on limits a scholarship actually states.
Sallie Mae / Ipsos, 2025
Families who did receive scholarships got an average of $8,004, and 75% said it was what made college possible.

Fewer applicants,
not bigger lists.
A community foundation award has forty applicants. A national one has forty thousand. We rank for relevance and eligibility, not size.
