Your data, plainly
Last updated November 8, 2026.
The short version
You can browse everything without an account. If you create one, we keep only what we need to show you matching scholarships and track your applications. We don’t sell your data, we don’t show ads, and your profile is never public.
What we collect if you sign up
- Your email address, so you can sign in.
- Whether you’re in high school, at an HBCU, or transferring.
- Your school (or the one you plan to attend), year in school, major, state, and graduation year.
- A GPA range, not your exact GPA.
- Scholarships you save or track, and service hours you log.
- Your confirmation that you’re 13 or older.
What we never collect
- Social Security numbers.
- Your exact birthdate.
- Financial documents, tax returns, or bank details.
- Scholarship applications — you always apply on the organization’s own site.
Students under 18
Many of our users are high school students. You must be 13 or older to create an account. We collect the minimum needed and never create public profiles. A parent or guardian can ask us to delete a student’s account at any time.
How we use it
To show which scholarships you likely qualify for, keep your saved list and tracker, and — only if you turn them on — send deadline reminder emails. We count anonymous page views, saves, and “apply” clicks to see which listings are useful. Those counts aren’t tied to you.
Who can see your data
Only you. Our database blocks every account from reading anyone else’s profile, saved items, tracker, or service hours. Our hosting and database providers store the data on our behalf and can’t use it for anything else.
Deleting your data
You’ll be able to delete your account and everything in it from your profile. Deletion is permanent.
