ScholarTrail is a scholarship matching platform that helps students and their families find and track scholarships that match their academic profile, interests and background, all in one place.

ScholarTrail stands apart by combining enhanced matching with a privacy-first approach and by allowing Parents and Guardians to directly support their students.

We use more parameters than any other platform to deliver truly personalized scholarship matches without selling your data, showing ads or exploiting your personal information.

We also allow Parents and Guardians to directly support their students with our Parent Account. A simple and safe way for families to stay informed, encourage progress and move through the scholarship process with confidence.

ScholarTrail is available for students and parents. Students get personalized scholarship matches and parents can create a Parent Account to support up to three students. Teachers and counselors will be supported in future updates.

ScholarTrail is a nonprofit scholarship matching platform. Students and parents can create accounts for free. Students get 3 personalized scholarship matches each month so families can see how ScholarTrail works.

Student Membership is $2.99/month or $29.99/year. Parent Membership is $4.99/month or $44.99/year. Members get unlimited access to verified scholarships with no spam or ads and we never sell or share student data for profit.

A Parent Account provides families with clear visibility into their students' scholarship progress while students remain in control of their profiles. Parents and guardians can support up to three students from one dashboard.

Parents get the visibility they've been asking for, including saved scholarships, progress tracking and upcoming deadlines. Support becomes easier without added pressure.

Once you create a profile, ScholarTrail uses the details you share, like GPA, grade level, major, and location, to match you with relevant scholarship opportunities.

A basic profile is enough to start, but the more information you provide (like activities, interests, and goals), the better your matches will be.

Update your profile frequently. Every time you have a new accomplishment, it could mean you are eligible for more scholarships. Joined the basketball team, add it to your profile. Started doing community service, add it to your profile. The more you share, the better your matches will be.

We are continuously updating our scholarship database. Our suggestion is to check back at least once a month (if not sooner!) to see what new opportunities you've been matched with.

Parent Accounts include up to three student accounts at no additional cost.

You can save scholarships you're interested in and remove ones that aren't relevant. This helps you stay organized and improve your future recommendations.

Yes, you can update your profile at any time from your settings.

Student accounts created through a Parent Account are automatically connected. Linking an existing student account to a Parent Account is not yet supported.

No. ScholarTrail helps you discover and track opportunities, but you'll be taken to the official scholarship provider's site to apply.

ScholarTrail keeps everything you share secure and private. Parents can see scholarship activity and progress for students linked to their Parent Account, but students choose what personal information they want to share. We never sell or share student data for profit.

We'd love to hear from you! During our soft launch, feedback surveys may appear in the app. You can also reach out to help@scholartrail.com.
