While there are many scholarship search engines, the industry is dominated by lead-generation traps who deliver spotty search results only after collecting from you pages of your personal information. Not surprisingly, many students, disenchanted with their online options, continue to turn to the tome-like scholarship directories released annually by large educational publishers — effective in their day, but hardly the solution for this century. Applying for scholarships is hard

Winning a scholarship is hard enough — applying should not be harder than it needs to be. Students are saddled with stacks of paperwork, repetitive forms, and a barrage of postage and transcript fees, all of which undermine scholarships’ missions and discourage students from submitting applications in the first place.

Scholarships should be simpler. That᾿s why we exist. From search to submission, we make sense of the entire scholarship process so that students can get back to the business of learning.
