Your story matters more than your GPA. We match undergraduate, community college, and graduate students with scholarships they're eligible for.
Students we help:
"My parents never went to college. I got into a state school but have no idea how to pay for it. Are there scholarships specifically for first-gen students like me?"

"I'm studying computer science at a community college and planning to transfer. What STEM scholarships can I apply for before I even get to a four-year school?"

"I'm a Black woman majoring in engineering. I keep hearing there are scholarships for students like me, but I can't find ones I actually qualify for. Where do I start?"

"I'm applying to a master's program in public health. My undergrad loans are already significant. Are there graduate-level scholarships and fellowships that could actually cover my tuition?"

There are thousands of scholarships designed for your exact situation, from simple one-page applications for $500 to multi-year awards worth $40K+. Most students never apply because finding them feels impossible. We make it take under 30 seconds.
Reviews
Freshmen, first-gen, community college transfers, and grad students.
“I found a $10K scholarship I'd never heard of in under 5 minutes. Applied the same week. This thing is absurdly good at matching scholarships to my actual profile.”
Junior, pre-med
“As a first-gen college student with zero connections, I had no idea scholarships like these existed. HeyScholarships showed me 14 I was eligible for. I've already won two.”
College sophomore
“The draft editor is like having a writing coach. It helped me write a personal statement that actually sounded like me, not a robot. I submitted with way more confidence.”
Graduate student
“Saved me probably 20 hours of research. I used to spend whole weekends hunting for scholarships. Now I do it in a lunch break.”
Senior, computer science
“I'm a first-gen Latina studying engineering. Found a $5K scholarship I matched 94% on. The eligibility breakdown told me exactly what made me a strong candidate.”
Sophomore, civil engineering
“Finally a tool that doesn't make me feel dumb. The AI walked me through every section of my application like a coach. I won a $1,000 scholarship on my first try.”
Freshman
“I applied for 6 scholarships last semester using HeyScholarships. I got 3 of them. That success rate used to be 1 in 10 when I was searching on my own.”
Junior, public health
“The deadline tracker alone is worth it. I have 8 active applications and nothing has slipped through the cracks.”
Graduate student, law
“I work with students who don't have time to search for scholarships. HeyScholarships levels the playing field. It finds what they miss.”
