Great thing about scholarships is that there are hundreds to choose from, but which one to apply for? Easy! At ScholarshipOwl, there are several tips that will make this process a lot smoother.

First off, we believe it’s best to go for what you are passionate about! If you feel comfortable talking about yourself and can promote yourself with a compelling essay or a video, go for those scholarships! Or, maybe your forte is writing essays about the environment, health, gaming, and pretty much any other subject: we are sure you’ll find plenty of scholarships to apply for!

That being said, ScholarshipOwl members have access to an advanced recommendation system - powered by artificial intelligence - that generates for you a weekly list of recommended scholarships. These recommendations are unique to every user: it’s a list of scholarships you have the best chances of winning. How can we know this? We base our recommendations on a low number of applicants, a limited number of students who qualify for a scholarship, high scholarship provider credibility, and an upcoming deadline. In other words, we stack the filters so you get the best chances of winning.

We share other tools and resources to aid you in your own selection process, like filters and sorting options. You get to prioritize your deadlines, choose award amounts and sift through the requirements you wish to complete.

Think that’s it? Nope!

We’ll even give you deeper insight into each scholarship: you will know the number of submitted applications (and how much competition there is!) and the scholarship credibility score (how legitimate we believe each scholarship is).

Use these to your advantage and apply for scholarships with best chances of winning.
