Create a free account with ScholarshipOwl by going to our website here.

You will be asked to provide personal and education-related information. We use this information to match you with scholarships you’re eligible for. The more information you provide, the more scholarships we can match you with!

If your information changes at any time (address, etc.) it’s important to go to your profile page here and update the info.

After you’ve created a free account, you’ll see all the scholarships you can apply for and the total amount of money you could win.

Every scholarship on our site is checked rigorously, to ensure its credibility. We want our users to apply for scholarships we trust (meaning - if you win, you WILL receive the funds). It’s important to us that you’re not getting scammed while applying to scholarships on our site.

So, within a free account, you get your own profile and awesome matches to credible, secure scholarships.

However, let’s say you want to maximize your chances of actually winning scholarships. In that case, choose a ScholarshipOwl membership and you’ll get the extra tools we designed to help you. Here are some of these tools:

Our recommendation system, powered by artificial intelligence, generates a weekly list of recommended scholarships - unique to you. What’s so special about these recommendations? These are the scholarships we believe you have the best chances of winning. How could we possibly know that? Because we base our recommendations on a low number of applicants, limited number of students who qualify, high scholarship provider credibility, and an upcoming deadline. In other words, we stacked filters so you get the best odds.

In addition to the scholarships we recommend, you can (and should) apply on your own. We’ll help you with that, too - you’ll get the info on the number of applicants for each scholarship and their due dates, so you can strategize better. Maximize your chances of winning by applying to scholarships with less competition.

There are also additional tools to help you sort and filter scholarships. Sort our vast database based on deadline, amount range, number of applicants, credibility score and requirement types; pick and save scholarships you like, or ignore them and get them off your feed!

Now, let’s go to the actual applications - with ScholarshipOwl membership, you have the benefit of having your forms automatically submitted. Why this feature? Because we don’t want you wasting hours upon hours by manually entering your info for each specific scholarship (which normally you’d have to). Rather, we’d have you use that time finding and applying for new scholarships, so you increase your chances of winning the money. Cool, right?

Finally, after you apply, you will get updates on your scholarship applications, so you’re always in the loop and know what’s going on! What does this mean? When you check the status of your application, there will be a notification saying things like:

is being reviewed, has been rejected (it happens!), or, our favorite - you won! This feature alone is gold, since you won’t be wondering what’s happening with your applications and if they got lost in the process.

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