What's the best app for finding college scholarships?

I'm trying to get a head start on finding scholarships for college and heard there are apps to help with this. Does anyone know which scholarship apps are the most useful or have the best success rates?

There are actually quite a few apps and websites available that can help you with your scholarship search. Some of the most popular ones include Scholly, Fastweb, and Appily.

Scholly is an app which requires a nominal subscription fee. It is uniquely designed to match students with scholarships that align with their profiles, making the search process simplified and more efficient.

Fastweb is a free website that has a vast database of scholarships. They also provide resources and advices on various topics including financial aid, student life, and job and internship opportunities.

Appily is another resource you might find useful. It's previously known as Cappex and is free to use. It provides a broad range of scholarship opportunities.

One caution is, regardless of the platforms you use, be wary of scams; legitimate scholarships should never ask for an application fee. Always do your due diligence and verify the legitimacy of each scholarship before applying. I'd also advise that you start your search early since many scholarships have deadlines earlier than college application deadlines. Remember to tailor each application to the specific criteria and requirements for that scholarship, as that increases your chances of receiving it. Be patient, persistent and stay organized. Good luck!
