$1,000 Service & Support Scholarship

"When I received my college’s cost breakdown, I knew I needed to apply for Scholarships. I came across SchloarshipOwl and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but as I got scholarship recommendations from ScholarshipOwl and completed the steps, I figured it was worth a try! Today I received the news that I actually won! I’m so excited! Getting ready to pay for college is quite the financial commitment, so I’m so happy to have won and put this money towards my future! Thank you ScholarshipOwl!"

The Collegewise Path Forward Scholarship — $1,000 for Your College Journey

"Hi! My name is Brynna, and I'm majoring in Communications at the University of Iowa in the fall of 2026. I feel so honored and excited that I've been awarded this scholarship! It has motivated me and helps pave the path toward my future. Applying to scholarships can be a little confusing, and you honestly don't feel like you'll receive any, but ScholarshipOwl made it so much easier. Apply to as many as you can through Scholarship Owl because now I know, you can win some!"

"I discovered ScholarshipOwl through friends and social media. While I applied hoping to win, I never imagined myself actually receiving the scholarship, so finding out was a big surprise. This support will help me with my education and my summer shadowing program as I pursue my goal of becoming a doctor. Thank you again ScholarshipOwl!"

$500 Show Us Your Green, Win Some Green Scholarship

"My name is Beth, and I am an undergraduate student in a University Without Walls program while also pursuing certification in AI consulting so I can stay prepared for where the job market is headed. Winning this $500 scholarship feels both exciting and validating, especially because I was honestly a little skeptical at first and wondered whether ScholarshipOwl was even real. After applying to at least 30 scholarships, this win reminded me that consistency really does matter. ScholarshipOwl helped make the process easier by simplifying how I found and applied for opportunities, which gave me more confidence to keep going. Living in the Greater Boston, Massachusetts area, where the cost of living is high, this scholarship truly helps ease some of the financial pressure of being a student. My advice to other students is simple: do not give up, keep the faith, and keep applying, because you miss every opportunity you never go for."

Scholarship Owl is my favorite scholarship search engine

I have been a member of Scholarship Owl for 3 years and I am continually impressed by the quantity and variety of scholarships that are offered. Some contests are No Essay, some providers require lengthy essays, and this last one was a video. There is something for everyone on this website.

Great program!

I can apply for scholarships in one place.. Scholarship Owl rates those options by award amount, deadline, number of applicants, and credibility. I've been able to apply for over a dozen essay scholarships in just under a week - as well as put my name in the hat for a few which don't require any essay at all!
