Most private scholarship providers will disburse the funds to your bank account, PayPal account, or even directly to your school.

You should know that ScholarshipOwl is dedicated to posting only legitimate scholarships on our website. We do all the research and contact the providers so we know the winner will receive the funds.

Check the credibility score to understand how likely it is that the scholarship provider will transfer the funds to the scholarship winner! The higher the percentage, the more confident we are that a scholarship is legitimate. If a scholarship is “verified”, this means that ScholarshipOwl itself will be handling the scholarship winner’s award payout (doesn’t get safer than that!).
