Even on a 90% match rate, I did not qualify because I do not go to a HBCU…. Not impressed ### 5/5 — The Ideal *2025-04-28, version 1.20.2* Good for reviewing scholarships and getting ideas of how things and essay should be set up ### 5/5 — Scholarships *2025-04-23, version 1.20.2* It’s very easy to sign up and use. 100% free! It is a very simple app and as long as you fill out the profile you can apply to plenty of school without even writing an essay. This app is going to save me a lot of time searching for scholarships. ### 3/5 — Contacts are bugged *2025-04-16, version 1.20.1* For some of the scholarships, you need to refer a friend or add a contact but it’s only showing one of my many contacts. Other than that though, the app is amazing at finding scholarships for students who want to go to college in the future. ### 2/5 — hard to use *2025-03-31, version 1.20.1* i like the app and i’ve applied to a few scholarships because of it but it’s really frustrating because most of the scholarships it matches me with i’m not eligible for. ### 5/5 — I love *2025-02-17, version 1.19.3* 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 ### 5/5 — 5stars *2025-01-30, version 1.19.2* AMAZING ### 5/5 — Cool *2025-01-20, version 1.19.2* Cool app ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2025-01-08, version 1.19.1* Just downloaded it.
