The Department of Education has launched a free national scholarship database that matches students with $10 billion in unclaimed scholarships annually, addressing a massive information gap in higher education funding.

How It Works

Students create a profile with their academic interests, demographics, and activities. The AI-powered system matches them with relevant scholarships from a database of 500,000 opportunities, with automatic application reminders.

Impact

Early users report finding an average of 35 matching scholarships totaling $85,000 in potential funding. The tool is free and replaces expensive private scholarship search services.
