iScholars: Making Scholarship Searches Effortless
What Inspired Us?
Who likes scholarships? Haha, we all do! Every year, our school raises tuition by $2,000, but our merit scholarships stay the same. It’s frustrating to see education becoming more expensive while financial aid opportunities remain stagnant.
But it's not just us. Students like Amir, who’s finishing high school, Pam, who wants to transfer from a community college to a university, or Sara, an international student, are all on the lookout for scholarships.
The Challenge: The Struggle of Searching
Searching for scholarships takes 15-20 minutes per search on average, and that’s just the beginning. Traditional scholarship platforms provide basic filters, but they aren’t efficient enough. They show a flood of scholarships, most of which aren’t relevant. We end up wasting hours reading descriptions only to realize we don’t qualify.
Even when we do find a suitable scholarship, the application process is exhausting—writing essays, preparing resumes, and meeting various requirements. It’s a discouraging process that often leads students to give up before they even apply.
