- You can edit or remove optional answers whenever you want.
- ScholarshipFinderAI does not sell your personal data.
Before you submit
The five-point official-source check

Common questions
Using your matches well
Does Strong Match mean I am eligible?
No. It means multiple saved signals align with the information in our database. Only the provider’s current rules determine eligibility.
Do I need an account to search?
No. Quick Match and manual filters remain free without an account. An account is useful when you want a saved profile and persistent dashboard.
Should I answer optional identity questions?
Only if you are comfortable. They can surface targeted scholarships, but leaving them blank does not block general opportunities.
How often should I update my profile?
Update it when your school year, major, location, goals, GPA range, or activities change. Recheck matches regularly because deadlines and programs change.
