Inspiration

  • The cost of education can be a barrier to many women.
  • Scholarships are advertised online, but in disparate locations.
  • Different scholarships are geared toward different groups and have different requirements.
  • It can be difficult to find scholarships that are geared toward women and that fit a specific person.

Goal

It can be hard to find scholarships and deadlines pass by quickly! We're trying to make it easy to find and remember to apply to everything available.

What does it do?

  • Scrapes the web for scholarships for women.
  • Allows users to create a profile and find scholarships that match them.
  • Allows users to get complete information on a scholarships and save scholarships for later use.
  • Sends text reminders to users before scholarship deadlines.
