No - you will still have the list of eligible scholarships for FREE. This is a part of ScholarshipOwl’s mission and promise to help as many students graduate debt-free.

Furthermore, you can apply to any of the scholarships you've been matched to! All you need to do is click on a scholarship within your matches list, get the scholarship provider’s link, view additional information and apply for FREE on the scholarship provider’s website!

Membership is for those students who want to speed things up and maximize their chances of winning recommended scholarships. There are awesome advantages we designed for our members. What do we mean? Once you register as a ScholarshipOwl member, you unlock these features:

Apply to all the eligible scholarship matches with a single application form! No re-entering your information over and over again. We know that gets boring! Plus, use the extra time to apply for additional scholarships!

All our scholarships are vetted and rated by our team so you don’t waste time applying to scholarships that end up being scams. The rating is reflected in each scholarship’s credibility score. Check the score, and you will immediately know how legitimate a scholarship is.

We have created a recommendation system powered by artificial intelligence that generates a weekly list of recommended scholarships - that you have the best chances of winning. This list is unique to every student on our platform. We stack the filters to give you safest bets for applying.

We make sure you can measure up your competition. See how many students have applied to each scholarship and easily estimate your odds of winning a scholarship.

You also get filters and a sorting system for your scholarship matches! Pick your favorites to apply for later, or ignore and remove them from your list (if you’re having second thoughts, you can undo this at any time)

We will automatically re-enter you into recurring scholarship draws so that you never miss out on opportunities!

Keep track of all your submitted applications in real time so that you are always in the loop. You will always know the status of your applications.

If you win a scholarship through ScholarshipOwl and tell us your success story, we will DOUBLE your scholarship award, up to $1,000!! Terms and conditions apply.

You can already see how these features can help you maximize your chances of winning. The choice is up to you - and will depend on what you want from our platform.

As for us, we will do our best to help you graduate DEBT FREE!!!
