Lists of Scholarships

Lists of Scholarships publishes category pages of scholarships grouped by major and criteria such as athletics, need and demographics. Category pages are browsable without an account. Copy quality is uneven, and a dedicated privacy policy address did not load cleanly.

Best for: Students browsing broad major or criteria lists who will verify each award on the sponsor site.

Limitation: Listings are split across many category pages, many shown deadlines have already passed, and deadlines may be out of date.

Starting point only. Each page states how many awards it covers. Confirm details on the sponsor site.

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 A 1 means most are out of date, incomplete or do not lead to the sponsor, and in the middle you will need to double check a fair share.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