With the recent announcement that up to $10,000 in student loan debt could be forgiven for individuals, we were curious to know just how this would impact students. Our analysts at Scholarship Institute took a dive into national numbers to find out the average student loan debt in every state along with which age groups…
There are many scholarships available for students. Scholarships are essential because they offer students financial support. If you are left-handed, the first to attend college in your family, an athlete, or a chess player, you could qualify for a scholarship. You’re now wondering what type of scholarship you can receive as a student interested in…
ScholarshipPoints earned the lowest spot on our list, with a total score of 43 out of 100. Unlike the other platforms we reviewed, ScholarshipPoints does not have a database of well-established scholarship opportunities from reputable organizations and companies. Instead, the platform primarily consists of links to other websites where students can complete surveys to earn…
StudentScholarships.org describes itself as the “largest collection of student scholarships on the web.” Regardless of whether this is true or not (the total funding amount isn’t mentioned anywhere), it is not a particularly easy platform to use. StudentScholarships.org was founded in 2003, and the website does not appear to be nearly as modern or functional…
ScholarshipOwl is one of the few platforms we analyzed that is only available to users who pay a subscription for the service. Somewhat misleadingly, ScholarshipOwl encourages site visitors to “register for free” and input a significant amount of personal data and information about prospective college plans before providing a partial list of “scholarship matches.” However,…

Students can search the scholarship database and filter the listings by major, state, special categories, easy-to-apply scholarships, and more. Niche offers quite a few of its own awards, such as the “$2,000…
Known to the world from its appearance on Shark Tank, Scholly is one of the few platforms we analyzed that requires users to pay for access to its scholarship search tool ($44.99/year). This is somewhat surprising, considering that Scholly is quite similar to several of the free platforms we looked at, as its main purpose…
Our scoring system awarded a score of 62 out of 100 to StudentScholarshipSearch.com. In terms of user experience, this website does feel rather dated, especially when compared to the sleek, modern platforms that have clearly invested heavily in product design. The main feature of StudentScholarshipSearch.com is a Scholarship Matcher that asks users to input only…
Fastweb is one of the best known scholarship search websites, and it earned a solid score of 71 out of 100. Founded in 1995, Fastweb prides itself on being the original college scholarship search website. With decades of experience, Fastweb is a well-respected search engine that has certainly adapted with the times. Currently, Fastweb’s database…
