GPA
We compare your GPA to each scholarship's stated minimum. No minimum listed means no GPA requirement — we never guess one.
Most scholarships go unclaimed simply because students never find them
Find scholarships you actually qualify for
ScholarSearch AI matches your GPA, major, location, and background against real eligibility requirements — then helps you prioritize what's worth your time, strengthen every application, and track your way to a win.

Why ScholarSearch AI
Your personal scholarship operating system find, prioritize, complete, win
Most scholarship sites hand every student the same giant list. ScholarSearch AI identifies the opportunities that actually fit your profile, ranks what's worth your time, and helps you turn applications into wins.
Matched to your real profile
Every scholarship is scored against your GPA, major, location, activities, and background — not just a keyword search.
Only what you're eligible for
Filter out awards you don't qualify for before you waste time reading them.
One place to track everything
Saved, in progress, submitted, or won — see your whole scholarship season at a glance.
AI essay help, your voice
Brainstorm and polish your writing without ever having the AI write it for you.
How it works
Your scholarship season, four steps
ScholarSearch AI is built around the way scholarship season actually goes: find what fits, prioritize what's worth it, complete strong applications, and win.
Step 1 · Find
Find scholarships you actually qualify for
Every scholarship is scored against your real GPA, major, location, activities, and background — not a generic keyword search. Expired listings are hidden automatically, so you never waste time on something you can't apply to.

Step 3 · Complete
Write stronger applications, in your own voice
Brainstorm story angles from your real background, fix grammar with plain-English explanations, and get rewrite suggestions. The AI sharpens your writing — it never writes your essay for you.
Prompt: “Describe a challenge that shaped who you are.”
- Angle 1 — Translating at the pharmacy for your grandmother, and how it made you the family's problem-solver.
- Angle 2 — Rebuilding your robotics entry the night before regionals after the chassis cracked.
- Angle 3 — Tutoring algebra at the community center and discovering you learn by teaching.
Ideas are drawn from your profile — activities, background, and goals — not generic templates.
Step 4 · Win
Submit, track, and see results roll in
Follow every application from Saved to Submitted to Won on one board, get reminders before deadlines slip, and pick up milestone badges as your scholarship season adds up.

This is an example — your real plan is built from your saved scholarships and profile the moment you sign up.
Explainable matching
Why you match — not just a black-box score
Every match score is built from criteria you can see and verify. A high score means your profile fits what a scholarship is looking for.
Major
Major-specific awards (like Computer Science or Nursing scholarships) are distinguished from general ones automatically.
Location
State, region, county, and even school-district-specific awards are matched to where you live and study.
Activities & background
Leadership, service, first-generation status, military affiliation, and financial need are weighed against what each scholarship is looking for.
A match score is a fit signal, not a promise. A 90% match means your profile strongly fits the stated criteria — it doesn't guarantee you'll be selected. Winning also depends on your essay, the number of applicants, and each scholarship's own reviewers. And when a scholarship depends on something you haven't answered yet, we say so — we never silently assume you qualify.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
A few things students ask before they start. See the full Help Center for everything else.
Is ScholarSearch AI free to use?
Yes — the free plan gives you AI scholarship matches, the Application Tracker, deadline reminders, and a limited amount of Essay AI use at no cost, and always will. Premium ($9/month or $90/year) removes the daily limits and adds features like unlimited Essay AI, AI college planning, and scholarship strategy reports.
Will using ScholarSearch AI guarantee I win a scholarship?
No tool can guarantee that — final decisions are made by each scholarship's own reviewers. What we do is show you scholarships you're genuinely eligible for, ranked by fit, with a clear explanation of why each one matched your profile, so you spend your time on the applications most likely to be worth it.
How accurate is the AI matching?
Match scores are based on each scholarship's published eligibility criteria and the profile information you provide. Accuracy improves significantly with a complete profile — especially the Activities and Background fields. Scores reflect how well you fit a scholarship, not your likelihood of winning.
What if my GPA or activities list isn't very strong?
Many scholarships have no GPA minimum at all, and others specifically prioritize activities, background, or financial need over grades. Your matches are built from your whole profile, not just GPA, so you'll still see real, eligible opportunities worth applying to.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Your account is protected using modern security standards — your information is encrypted in transit, and only you can access your data. We never sell your personal information to third parties. You can request a copy or deletion of your data at any time.
Can I use ScholarSearch AI on my phone?
Yes. The platform is fully mobile-responsive and works in any modern mobile browser. There's no app to install — just visit the site from Safari, Chrome, or your preferred browser.
