Find Scholarships that Match your Eligibility
And regularly update your profile!
Free online scholarship searches are a great way to get started on finding information about specific competitions and financial aid opportunities, but they are not all created equal.
- ScholarshipExperts.com - Highly accurate search results save a ton of time when it comes to determining which awards the student is eligible for. Scholarship Experts doesn’t return as many results as some of the other scholarship search sites, but each award result is specifically matched to the user’s profile. Their total database is huge, so when considering the number of awards each user is eligible for, they’re probably at the top.
- Scholarships.com - Returns a lot of accurate results, ordered in an scale of “relevancy” that really helps sort out the scholarships in a useful way. I found a couple of awards I’m not eligible for, but they were automatically sent to the bottom of the list.
- Fastweb.com - Is nationally known and drives a ton of online traffic. The website shows a lot of returns on my profile, but some of the awards are just obviously not for me. I got results for other races, genders, locations, and majors - so the fact that I found 110 scholarships doesn’t help me save time since I have to go through and see which ones I can even apply for.
