Why local scholarships instead of the big national databases?

The applicant pool. A national award can draw tens of thousands of applications for a few hundred places, while an award limited to one county or one high school competes against a graduating class, and most never appear on the national databases at all.

How do I find scholarships near me?

Enter your ZIP code and we look up your county, because county is how sponsors actually write eligibility. We cover 15 Florida counties so far, with 357 verified awards.

Finding an award, reading its requirements, and reaching the sponsor's application page is free and stays free. That information belongs to students.

Where does the data come from?

Every record is collected from the sponsor's own page or a school counselor's published list, and each award page quotes the sponsor's eligibility text unedited with a link to the source. 182 of 357 awards carry a published deadline.

The scholarships with the best odds are the ones nobody lists

A national award can get 50,000+ applicants. A local award can sometimes barely get just a few. We focus on finding you the local award, for FREE.

The problem

Local scholarships go unclaimed because nobody lists them

A sponsor posts an award on a school bulletin or a foundation page, a handful of students see it, and the deadline passes. It never reaches a national database, so searching one will not find it.

How it works

Three steps, and the last one is on the sponsor's site

1
Enter your ZIP code

We look up your county, because county is how sponsors actually write eligibility. Students know their ZIP.
2
Read the facts, then the sponsor's own words

Every page shows the eligibility details. Read it carefully.
3
Apply on the sponsor's site

We never sit between you and the application. Every award links straight to the organisation giving the money.

Three rules we do not break

What this site will never do

Every award is quoted, not paraphrased

The sponsor's own eligibility text sits on every page, unedited, with a link to the source. If our summary and their text disagree, theirs wins.

A blank field means we do not know

It never means "no requirement". We would rather show you an award you turn out to be ineligible for than hide one you could have won.

Finding an award is always free

Whether a scholarship exists, and where to apply, is never behind a payment. That information belongs to students.

Deadlines pass quietly. Get told first.

Pick your county, school and field of study, and we email you when we find a matching award, and again before its deadline.

Want to narrow it by school, field of study or graduation year? Set up detailed alerts.
