Scholarship search
Our free scholarship award database contains more than 2.9 million scholarships worth more than $16 billion. It is expanded and updated daily.
Every time you log in or update your scholarship profile, a new search matches you with the latest scholarship opportunities.
Unlike some scholarship search services, we do not sell or rent your information.
Once you register, it should take approximately 10 minutes to complete your profile. Your information is stored so you can pick up where you left off at any time.
Once you click the submit button, you can instantly review your results.
You can also use our new Sallie Mae Scholarship Search Facebook application. Find, organize, and share your scholarship information with your friends, all within your Facebook account.
To find scholarships you are likely to be eligible for, we need to know some information about you. We use it to generate a list of scholarships that match your characteristics. Lean more about the personal information we request.
When is the best time to run a scholarship search?
Deadline dates for private aid applications are typically from October to March the year before you will need the scholarships, though there are some scholarship programs with deadlines throughout the entire calendar year.
The best time to begin looking for financial aid is at least one year before you need it and then every year thereafter while you are still a student.
