The Scholarship System is Broken. We're Here to Fix It.
We believe a student's potential shouldn't be limited by their ability to win a keyword lottery. We're using AI to build a smarter, more equitable path to college funding.
From Frustration to Innovation
Every year, millions of scholarship dollars go unclaimed. Why? Because the system is built on outdated search technology.
Students, parents, and counselors spend countless hours sifting through irrelevant search results and outdated matches, using simple keywords like "business" or "volunteer."
The best-fit scholarships—the "hidden gems" from foundations looking for a specific passion, a unique story, or a powerful essay—are almost impossible to find. We experienced this frustration as students, parents, and educators. We knew there had to be a better way.
A Better Match, Powered by AI
ScholarshipAI isn't just another search tool. It's an intelligent matching engine.
We use the same advanced AI that powers the world's leading technology. Our system reads and *understands* the rich, thematic context of a student's entire story—their essays, their goals, and their activities.
It looks for the "why" behind their accomplishments and connects them with scholarship providers who share that same mission. This means better-fit applicants for providers and less time wasted for students.
