Directory / Get Schooled Scholarship Finder
Get Schooled Scholarship Finder
Get Schooled is a nonprofit college and career site for United States high school and college students, especially first-generation students. Its finder searches 10,000+ scholarships from a single keyword box. An account unlocks the finder, and each listing sends you to the sponsoring organization's site to apply.
Best for: First-generation and other US students who want a nonprofit's college guidance alongside a keyword-searchable database of 10,000+ scholarships.
Limitation: Search is a single keyword box with no filters, many listings are past deadline, and links usually reach the sponsor's homepage instead.

How we rate
Matching Power
How well it helps you find the scholarships it lists, by filtering on location, need, merit, major, college and high school.
A 5 means you can narrow the list by where you live, need, merit, major, college or high school, and a big site brings the best fits to the top. A 1 means little or no way to narrow, and in the middle some filters work but many results still do not fit.
Scholarship Quality
How complete, current and traceable its scholarship listings are.
A 5 means nearly every listing is current, links to the real sponsor and gives enough detail to act on. A 1 means most are out of date, incomplete or do not lead to the sponsor, and in the middle you will need to double check a fair share.
Ease of Use
How easily you can understand the controls and reach actionable scholarship information.
A 5 means clear controls and a quick path from the list to a scholarship and its sponsor, including on a phone. A 1 means walls, confusing steps or a broken phone view keep getting in the way, and the middle is workable with some tradeoffs.
Privacy & Marketing
What data it asks for, how much advertising or sign-up pressure gets in the way, and how much control you have.
A 5 means the site asks only for what it needs, says why, keeps ads and partner offers out of the way and leaves you in control. A 1 means heavy data requests, sign-up pressure, loan offers or sweepstakes get in the way, and the middle has some of that pressure but it stays manageable.
Our ratings are our opinion of each site, not an endorsement or a prediction that you'll win.
