ScholarshipOwl is a digital platform that gets you on the fastest route to scholarships.

We collect existing scholarships you qualify for, bring them to you, and give you the tools to work on your applications in a smarter way.

So what does this actually look like, from start to finish?

Creating an account

When you sign up for a ScholarshipOwl account, you enter your personal and education information.

Matching to scholarships

This information instantaneously connects you to ALL the scholarships you can apply for. If you worry that these scholarships are scams, don’t: every scholarship on our site goes through a serious vetting process - so you can relax, enjoy and apply for real, legitimate scholarships!

Scholarship recommendations

Here’s a very cool part, especially if you’re a new user: once a week, our artificial intelligence system generates for you a list of recommended scholarships - unique to every user on the platform - and presents the ones with the best chances of winning.

How do we know you have the best chances for these particular recommendations? Because of the criteria we specify: limited number of students who qualify, low number of applicants, high credibility for scholarship providers, and a close deadline. This way, odds are stacked in your favor, and you didn’t have to waste a minute finding scholarships on your own. We think that’s awesome!

Making strategic choices

But, let’s say you want to explore more scholarships on your own. You want to step up and play the numbers game. Kudos to you! For our part, we make sure you can strategize which scholarships to apply for - by giving you the info on the numbers of applicants and due dates. Apply to the scholarships with less competition and you will easily maximize your chances. Simple as looking at a few numbers (we’ll show you which).

Sort and filter your matches

You can also sort and filter your scholarships - by deadline, amount range, number of applicants, credibility score and requirement types - to find the best matches and further maximize your chances of winning. As you browse through, pick your favorite scholarships and save them for later, or simply ignore the ones you don’t want, and they’ll disappear from your feed. No, we’re not in the business of endlessly repeating same scholarships :)

Automatic application form submission

Next, you want to apply. First of all, remember the information you entered upon signing up? When you apply for a scholarship, we automatically send the application and the required personal information! Think about this: if you applied for a hundred scholarships, and you had to type in the info every time you applied… Well, you get the idea. With ScholarshipOwl, you’ll save hours of time!

Application status updates

After you apply, we strive to make the process as transparent as possible - by giving you real-time updates on submitted applications and keeping you in the loop. You always know what’s going on: the application is being reviewed, has been accepted, rejected (hey, it happens), or, our favorite - you won! No uncertainty there nor wondering if the provider even got your application.

As you can see, we rounded the entire process related to scholarships - and made it a lot easier and smarter.

ScholarshipOwl is a must for any student looking to graduate debt-free, no matter the major or school level!
