    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.

    Scholarship questions

    Where listings come from, why the FAFSA still matters and how to spot a scam.

    Where do these scholarships come from?

    Each listing is a federal grant, a state program or an award a college runs itself. An editor checks the amount, dates and eligibility against the provider's official page before it is published, and the page shows the date it was last verified.

    Do I need an account to see scholarships?

    No. Every scholarship page and the quick match are open to everyone. A free account adds a saved list, the full match list and email reminders 14, 7 and 2 days before each deadline.

    Why should I file the FAFSA even for scholarships?

    Federal grants and most state grants use the FAFSA (or a state aid application) to decide who qualifies and how much they get. Many colleges also use it for their own need-based awards.

    How do I spot a scholarship scam?

    Legitimate scholarships do not charge an application fee, do not guarantee that you will win and do not ask for bank or card details. If something feels wrong, report it to the Federal Trade Commission at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
