Privacy-first scholarship matching for your students
ScholarTrail is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit scholarship matching platform that puts student privacy first (EIN: 39-2201989). Our proprietary matching algorithm replaces cluttered searches and stale listings with focused results based on the criteria students choose, with no irrelevant ads and no selling of personal data.
