Simple. Comprehensive. Free.

Step 1 is simple and flexible—whether you're a student looking for ways to cover college costs or you're a parent, counselor or mentor helping students find opportunities. Search, save and share scholarships at the local, regional and national levels to build a personalized list that meets your needs.

How It Works

This step-by-step guide makes your scholarship search process simple.

1. Create Your Free Account

You can see some results without creating an account, but an account is free and easy to set up, and your information is never sold.

With your account, you can search for scholarships that match your specific interests and criteria. Once you find matches, you can save specific scholarships or whole search results to come back to later or share results with others.


2. Find Scholarships

Enter as few or as many criteria as you like to see matching scholarships. Broader categories may return more scholarships, but specific criteria may result in matches you meet all qualifications for.

Sort your results by different factors to make it easier to decide when to apply for what opportunities.

Want to compare results? Save different searches with different criteria to see additional scholarships you may be eligible for.


3. Save and Share

See something you're interested in? You can save a result to your saved scholarships. Your saved scholarships will be listed under the Saved tab to make it easy for you to find them again.

Share with family members or students (or even yourself!) by using the share function to send a link by email.


4. Expand Your Options

If you want to see how changing your criteria results in different scholarships, or if you're working with multiple students, it's easy to create and save an entire search so you don't lose results. Your saved searches are listed at the top of the Search Criteria fields, and you can add new searches or manage your searches there.
