Why ScholarScan
Most scholarship tools search a database. ScholarScan searches the web.
Scholly, Fastweb, and Niche match you against a list of scholarships they've already collected. ScholarScan's AI agent runs live web searches for your exact profile — finding opportunities that haven't made it into any database yet.
🎯
Scored for your profile
Every result gets a match score (0–100) and a one-sentence explanation of why you qualify — so you spend time on the right scholarships, not every scholarship.
💡
Beyond scholarships
Also finds federal grants, employer tuition programs, ROTC funding, co-op programs, and community college transfer scholarships — in one tool.

"My daughter is a high school student in Oregon. Every scholarship tool I tried gave her the same generic list. I knew AI could do better — search the real web, score against her actual profile, and surface the opportunities she'd actually qualify for. So I built it."
