Top 10 Best
Scholarship Search Platforms
It's never too early to begin the search
for college scholarships!
Even if you have a good summer job, you likely won’t make enough to pay for college. You also might not have the money you need to cover your living expenses, textbooks and a dorm room.
That is why you need to look for scholarships that will cover some or all of those costs.
Scholarship programs often include funds that go unclaimed each year and offer money that you do not need to repay. As you start your career, you don’t want to worry about loans and how you will pay them when you have other bills to worry about.
Using college scholarship search platforms is the easiest way to find programs that you qualify for and learn how to get that money. We ranked the 10 best scholarship search platforms that you can use while planning for the future. [Click below to get the list.]

A Better Path Connecting Education to the Real World
YouScience® Brightpath is the only education-to-workforce solution that leverages performance-based measures of aptitudes in academic and career guidance.
Unlike platforms relying on self-reported assessments, Brightpath provides a more accurate, personalized roadmap for students’ success. It breaks through biases to expose them to 600+ in-demand career pathways, empowering them with a deeper understanding of their natural talents and showing where their aptitudes and interests align to set them on their best-fit pathways.
This approach leads to proven success, as validated by a pilot program with the Georgia Office of Student Achievement (GOSA). After taking our aptitude assessment, students were significantly:
- Better at describing their natural abilities and identifying suitable careers (self-awareness)
- More confident in making informed career decisions (career decision-making)
- More empowered to follow their future pathways (self-empowerment)
- More likely to explore careers (career exploration)
- More inclined to go after a career pathway or additional postsecondary education or training (intent to persist)
Seeing is believing—complete a demo today to receive a free $49 YouScience® Aptitude & Career Discovery profile for you or someone you love.
