In today’s world of smartphones and tablets, parents and students are doing more on more with mobile applications. Recognizing the need to access easy information, app creators are designing scholarship apps to help with the scholarship search and application process.

Scholly – .99
Scholly is an easy way to find scholarships for high school seniors, current undergraduates, and graduate students. Designed to ease the scholarship search process, Scholly’s adaptive matching engine promises to deliver smarter, targeted lists of scholarships. Scholly seeks to fix the current outdated process that requires students to fill out long, tiresome forms and then fail to deliver relevant results.
Scholly gives students a curated list of scholarships. We don’t waste student’s time with random scholarships that they do not qualify for nor do we give them a list of things that are not even scholarships like loans, internships, and advertisements. Deadlines are updated as soon as they are available and scholarships that no longer exist will be removed from our database. Scholly’s goal is to make the scholarship search process as simple as possible.
This app receives high ratings in the app store.
SAIL Scholarships – .99
(Also available on GooglePlay)
This app was created by college graduates to help students find scholarships. Their goal was to dramatically decrease the amount of debt students have after graduation by creating this app to help students search for scholarships. A quick glance at the app says that it’s easy to use and sort awards. It hasn’t been rated yet by iTunes or GooglePlay and I’m not sure how extensive their database is. It’s up to you whether you want to risk the .99.
RecruitU – FREE
If you are searching for athletic scholarships, this is app can help. Whether you’re a boy or girl, RecruitU is designed by experienced college coaching experts to direct your search to your ideal college sports programs. With our comprehensive U.S. college database, RecruitU will match you (or your child) with the perfect college based on your academic (GPA and Standardized test scores) and athletic skills (level of play).
