ScholarshipOwl Launches New Homepage and Powerful Suite of Dashboard Tools

 

This year has posed many challenges for all of us. Due to COVID-19, we’ve come together while keeping our safe distance. We’ve adjusted, and become adept at learning from home, Zooming to stay connected. At ScholarshipOwl, we understand the impact that these changes have had on our students and their families. During these difficult times, we’ve been learning and growing ourselves – rethinking and retooling, to ensure that we are offering the most powerful scholarship engine available.  

We’ve worked closely with several of our students, asking them for input on our dashboard. Our internal teams have aligned and become more engaged, enabling us to launch several new features in the last few months. During this same time period, we’ve re-envisioned our product from a philosophical perspective as well. This process has propelled us closer to the future that we imagine for our students. And this month, we are proud to debut our new homepage that clarifies our vision and direction. 

We know that there are numerous websites that list scholarship opportunities for students. But in most cases, these websites are cumbersome and overwhelming. We’ve all heard about people who have won tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships. Some students may lament, wondering how those winners got so lucky… But here’s the thing. We at ScholarshipOwl know that those students aren’t just lucky. Each and every one of them used tools and strategies that gave them an edge. So can you.

Our Vision:

It should be quick and easy to find scholarships that are relevant to you. It should be possible to complete your scholarship search, match and application all in one place. There should be a platform that streamlines the entire scholarship process. Students who use such a platform should feel confident that their chances of earning scholarships have increased. We decided that ScholarshipOwl can and should be this platform.

Our Commitment:

Today, we can assure you that ScholarshipOwl is the fastest path to earning scholarships. Simply put, students who use our platform will increase their odds of earning scholarships. 

• Scholarships in our database are prescreened and vetted by our customer service team. 
• Your scholarship matches are displayed when you login, so you’ll know you are eligible for each scholarship in your list. Students who have tried other websites have told us time and time again that their matches on our system are more relevant than what they find elsewhere.
• ScholarshipOwl is your one-stop scholarship application system – the entire search, match and application process happens in one place.
• Our dashboard offers outstanding strategy tools that enhance and improve your scholarship application experience. We know that it does take time and effort to apply for scholarships, but with ScholarshipOwl, you’ll find it’s easier than you think! Some of our newer tools include:

• • Recommended Scholarships: Our smart system utilizes AI to generate scholarship recommendations tailored just for you, based on your profile and habits.
  • Credibility Scores: Sometimes it’s hard to know which scholarships are worth your time. Our credibility scores help you decide where to focus your time and energy.
  • Sort and Filter Tools: Scholarship searches can be messy, but not with ScholarshipOwl. Sort and filter your matches. Favorite the scholarships you like best, and hide the ones you don’t.
  • Text Editor: Write, edit and proof your application essays right in our platform. 
  • Application Status: Monitor your applications in real-time. 
  • Recurring Scholarships: You’ll be automatically reapplied to scholarships that select multiple winners year-round so that you can focus on scholarships that truly require your attention.

And this is only the beginning. Our team is working on more new tools that will be released soon. We’ve expanded our free webinar series to include guest presenters, ensuring you have access to top experts focused on college planning and the reduction of college costs. We’ve launched monthly social media contests to motivate, engage and reward you. And soon, you’ll be able to virtually connect in an online community to share ideas and strategies, and even access peer-to-peer coaching and support.

Every day, we are getting closer towards our shared goal – providing a path to reduced reliance on student loans so all college students can graduate debt-free.

The Bottom Line:

Our platform streamlines the entire scholarship application process. What’s more, you’ll feel confident that the scholarships you chose to apply to were worth your time and effort. 

With ScholarshipOwl, you’re getting so much more than a website that lists a bunch of scholarships. You’re getting a productivity tool that has been specifically designed to help you apply to more scholarships, more often. And you’re getting a dedicated team focused on creating a high-touch, high-value customer experience to support and motivate you along the way.

All of this ensures you will increase your odds of earning scholarships. And that’s what it’s all about!
