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 free platform lets users save and track applications, with results refreshing as their profile changes.
Most scholarship sites still rely on keyword matching, burying students under long, unfiltered lists and spammy redirects. ScholarScope's bet is that students want to see only the scholarships they actually qualify for.
Founded in 2026 by Arman Singhal, the company positions itself as a cleaner alternative to the dead ends and clutter that define traditional scholarship search. An earlier Chrome extension reportedly reached 40,000 users before being removed from the store, suggesting the team has been circling this problem for a while.
The founding team is building around a specific, narrow pain point — eligibility filtering over keyword noise — and pulls data from official providers and the ScholarshipAPI, citing sources like the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation and the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation. Prior traction with a 40,000-user extension hints at an understanding of how students actually search.
