JLV College Counseling Scholarship Lists

JLV College Counseling is an independent college counseling practice that publishes scholarship lists as blog posts for United States high school and college students. Lists are grouped by deadline month, major, grade, background and state, with a short note and sponsor link for each award. There is no account to create.

Best for: Students who like browsing curated scholarship lists by deadline month, major, grade or background, then applying directly on each sponsor's site.

Limitation: Lists cannot be filtered or matched to you, state pages are thin, and phone pages carry heavy ads and a cookie banner.

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 A 1 means most are out of date, incomplete or do not lead to the sponsor, and in the middle you will need to double check a fair share.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.
