Directory / Kaleidoscope Scholarship Marketplace
Kaleidoscope Scholarship Marketplace
Kaleidoscope is an application platform that companies and foundations use to run their own scholarship and grant programs. Its public marketplace lists programs with a short description and a dated submission deadline, and can show all programs, those accepting applications, or those coming soon. A keyword box searches program names.
Best for: Students who already know a sponsor uses Kaleidoscope and want to check that program's dates and apply.
Limitation: The marketplace shows only programs run on the platform, with few filters, so it is not a broad scholarship search.
