The Best Scholarship Websites For Finding Money

There are millions of dollars out there in scholarships right now, but knowing where and how to find legit, high-quality ones is key. To make your scholarship search easier and safer, we did lots of research on free, trustworthy websites for you. Each of the ones listed here have been carefully vetted by the Get Schooled team to ensure they protect your personal information and show you the best college scholarships out there! Here are some of the best scholarship websites for finding money.

Websites that won't sell your data

JLV College Counseling Scholarships

Created by a former college admissions counselor, JLV College Counseling connects students and their families to scholarship opportunities, college application and admission resources, and more - all for FREE. Scholarships are categorized by deadline, month, majors, and areas of interest. No sign up is required.

Chegg Scholarship Tool

Chegg helps students find over 25,000 scholarships on their scholarship search tool! The tool is completely free, but creating an account is required to tailor your search for scholarships and to apply for them.

Scholarships360

Founded by two first-generation college graduates, Scholarships360 is a free of charge (and spam!) platform for finding up-to-date scholarships. Scholarships listed on the site are vetted by members of the Scholarships360 team to ensure they're legit. The site also has helpful tips for finding and applying for scholarships, as well as essential FAFSA information. Sign up is required to be matched to scholarships.

Going Merry

Founded by graduates of Carnegie Mellon and Stanford who relied on scholarships to fund their college education, Going Merry aims to make finding and applying for scholarships easy for students. Scholarships are broken down by specific categories, including scholarships for women, minorities, and scholarships by state. Additional financial aid and FAFSA resources are available on the site to help you understand your financial aid options. Sign up is required to apply for scholarships directly on the website.

Websites that may sell your data unless you request they don’t:

Access Scholarships

Using Access Scholarship’s free Scholarship Search will lead you to thousands of available scholarships. Making a profile is recommended to tailor your search and match you to scholarships you're eligible for. 

Fastweb

Fun fact: Fastweb was the very first college scholarship search website ever! For over 27 years, their team has helped students find and apply for all kinds of scholarships, learn more about financial aid, and even help them search for part-time jobs. Sign up is required to see and apply for the over 1.5 million scholarships Fastweb offers on its scholarship database.

Scholarships.com

Scholarships.com has a large database of scholarships, (over 3.7 million!) as well as free, printable resources for students preparing to apply to college. Sign up is required to begin searching for scholarships.

Websites that may sell your data

These scholarship websites and databases are legit and trustworthy, but are more likely to sell your information (age, address, email, etc.) to third parties. We urge you to be intentional about the scholarships you apply for and what information you share.
