What does Scholarship Search do?
Scholarship Search is an automated web scraping tool that helps students, parents, and educators find scholarship opportunities across multiple scholarship directory websites. It searches popular scholarship databases to extract detailed information about available scholarships including the scholarship name, award amount, application deadline, eligibility requirements, GPA requirements, field of study, and direct links to application pages. The actor supports keyword-based searching and field of study filtering to help users find the most relevant opportunities for their academic profile and career goals.
Why use Scholarship Search?
Finding scholarships is one of the most important yet time-consuming tasks for students preparing for higher education. With thousands of scholarships available across hundreds of websites, manually searching and comparing opportunities can take dozens of hours.

Students can quickly identify opportunities matching their field of study and qualifications. Guidance counselors can build comprehensive scholarship databases for their students. Financial aid offices can create resource lists for incoming students. Parents can research funding opportunities to help plan for college expenses.

Cost Estimate
This actor operates at the Mid pricing tier ($0.00075 per page event). A standard search for 30 scholarships with 1024 MB memory completes within a few minutes and typically costs under $0.03. Searching with more specific terms (combining search query and field of study) tends to produce more targeted results and may cost slightly less due to fewer pages processed.
