We match you to scholarships based on the information in your profile and the eligibility requirements of the scholarships. For example, if a scholarship is only for high school students living in a particular state, you’ll only be matched to it (and therefore able to apply) if you are a high school student living in that state.

We will only match you with a scholarship if you have input enough information in your profile for us to know that you meet ALL of its eligibility requirements.

If your financial aid offer wasn't enough to cover your bill, we recommend you submit an appeal. Learn more about financial aid appeals here.

If you'll need a student loan to cover the rest, begin by researching the lender that will give you the best rate. Most private lenders allow you to answer a few questions risk-free and then get your estimated interest rate. You’re under no obligation to actually get the loan. We recommend checking with Earnest first. Get your rate estimate from Earnest here.
