Questions

Common questions

Ten questions, answered from the data rather than from a script. The numbers below were counted when this page was built.

Is this free, and do I need an account?

Yes it is free, and no account is needed. Every award page is readable by anyone, and nothing on this site charges for anything at any point.

Do you handle my application?

No. The apply button goes to the sponsor's own page, and the application happens there. This site is an index and never sits between you and a sponsor. 106 of the 357 awards have their own application link; where we could not find one, the page links the listing the award was published on and says so.

How many scholarships are here, and where?

357 awards from 168 sponsors across 45 counties in Florida. These are awards restricted to a single county, city or high school, which is the kind the national databases do not carry.

Why can I not find a scholarship I know exists?

Most likely we have not crawled the page that lists it yet. Coverage grows county by county from school district pages, community foundations and counselor bulletins. An award can also be present but held out of search results if the sponsor published very little about it: 197 of 357 are in that state, and they are still reachable from their county and sponsor pages.

Why do some awards show no deadline or no amount?

Because the sponsor did not publish one. 184 awards have no deadline we could read, and a further 65 give a month and day with no year. A blank field records what the sponsor left out, and we do not fill it in with a guess.

Does a blank requirement mean there is no requirement?

No. A blank field records that the sponsor did not publish that requirement, and never that the requirement does not exist. If citizenship is blank, check with the sponsor rather than assuming there is no citizenship rule.

How do I know these are real?

Every record links to the page it was read from, so you can check it against the source. The sponsor's eligibility text is quoted word for word rather than rewritten, and where our summary and that quote disagree, the quote is correct. All 357 records carry the date they were last checked.

What if a detail here is wrong?

The sponsor's page is the authority and is linked from every award. If something here contradicts it, tell us and we will fix the record. We never edit the sponsor's quoted text to match our summary.

How often is this updated?

Sources are re-read on a schedule, most recently on 2026-08-12. Awards whose deadline has genuinely passed are removed from the site entirely rather than hidden: 220 have been removed so far.

Should I ever pay to apply for a scholarship?

No. A scholarship that asks for a payment to apply is one to walk away from. That is a general rule about scholarships and not a statement about any sponsor listed here.

Still stuck?
