On each scholarship's landing page, there is a section that denotes whether you are eligible for a scholarship. This appears as a table titled "Eligibility Requirements".

In this Eligibility table, the far right column with the header 'Are you Eligible?' indicates whether you meet that given requirement.

✅ A green check means that a student is eligible.

❌ A red cross means that a student is ineligible.

✏️ Needs info means that a student has not added enough information to their profile to know if they are eligible. This student must therefore complete their profile.

Complete your student profile to be properly matched to all scholarships!


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.
