Scholarships.com was founded in 1998 with the singular purpose of making college funding more attainable. In just a few years we have grown to become the largest independent free college scholarship search and financial aid information resources on the Internet. We provide a great deal of the information and resources necessary to discover local, state and national scholarship and grant opportunities, in addition to the many Federal and private loan options for funding a college education.
The mission of Scholarships.com is to assist students in obtaining scholarships for college and help them explore the many financial aid opportunities available to students as well as parents. We provide an online resource that delivers the information and tools required to understand financial aid and make well-informed choices- all at no charge. We help students and parents find a way to make college not only attainable but affordable as well.
The Scholarships.com difference lies in our proprietary scholarship search engine technology, which identifies and matches the scholarships that are most relevant to the individual student's characteristics, based on their personal profile. Our unique filtering process prevents our members from having to review awards for which they do not qualify. Our sophisticated relevancy algorithm saves time for students by compiling their search results in such a way that the scholarships that best match the students profile appear first. This protects the student from being overwhelmed by the process while also helping them to concentrate first on those scholarships that offer the most unique fit and therefore highest likelihood of success.
