Find scholarships your student actually qualifies for
It spots small local and hobby scholarships your kid fits, with each deadline and the exact reason they qualify.
Published . Steps as of October 2026.
How can AI find scholarships that match my kid's resume?
Attach your student's activity resume as a PDF and ask an AI with web search to find scholarships that match each detail in it. ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude can read the PDF and search together. Perplexity is a good pick when you want every result linked to its source. Families with a strong niche hobby or job will see the most small, less-crowded awards. Always confirm the deadline and rules on each scholarship's own page.
A sample of what you get back, made with AI.
Your prompt
Fill in your details. Skip any you like.
ChatGPT and Claude open with your prompt already typed in. Gemini can't be filled in from a link, so its button copies your prompt: paste it into the new chat.
The prompt that gets copied
I've attached my student's activity resume. Read it closely and pull out everything that could qualify them for a scholarship: grades, intended major, activities, jobs, volunteering, hobbies, family background they've chosen to share, and [EXTRA DETAILS, e.g. first in family to attend college]. They'll start [SCHOOL TYPE, e.g. a four-year state university] in [START YEAR, e.g. fall 2027]. Search the web for scholarships they genuinely qualify for, including small and niche ones, not just the famous national awards. Skip anything that charges an application fee. Give me a table with: scholarship name, amount, deadline, the one detail from the resume that makes them a fit, and a link. Rank by fit, then by deadline. Below the table, flag any that need an essay and suggest which resume story fits each essay best.
Upload your student's activity resume or transcript PDF and ask AI to search for scholarships that match it. You get a ranked list with deadlines, amounts and why each one fits.
