ScholarScope
AI-powered, eligibility-first scholarship search engine.

The company
ScholarScope is an eligibility-first scholarship search engine that matches a student's profile — state, grade, GPA, interests — against a database of verified listings, then links straight to official application pages. The product strips out keyword-match noise and spammy redirects, and lets users save and track the scholarships they can actually win. It's free to use.
Most scholarship sites still bury students under long, unfiltered lists and dead-end redirects, while the cost of higher education keeps students hunting for funding. An eligibility-first filter — refreshed as a profile changes — is a concrete answer to a search problem that volume alone hasn't solved.
The company, founded by Arman Singhal, positions itself against traditional scholarship websites that trade on keyword matches over real eligibility. A related corporate entity, Scholarscope Nikita Global (OPC) Private Limited, is registered in New Delhi.
The founding team has shipped student-facing tooling before: a ScholarScope Chrome extension reportedly reached 40,000 users at one point, though it was removed from the store and last updated six years ago. That's early evidence of distribution — now the task is proving the data and matching hold up at scale.
