Terms of use

What this service is

ScholarshipLoop collects scholarships that are restricted to a single county, city or high school, and publishes what their sponsors have said about them. Every listing quotes the sponsor's own eligibility wording and links to the page it came from.

Using it is free. Finding an award, reading its requirements and reaching the sponsor's application page costs nothing and will keep costing nothing. Whether a scholarship exists, and where to apply for it, is information that belongs to students.

What we are not

We are not the sponsor

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any organisation listed here. Naming a sponsor and quoting their published text is how an index works, and it does not mean they know about us or approve of us.

We do not run any award

We do not receive applications, we do not forward them, we do not screen them, we hold no money, and we take no part in deciding who receives an award. Those decisions belong entirely to the organisation giving it.

We do not decide who is eligible

Appearing on this site, or matching the fields you gave us, is not a determination that you meet a sponsor's requirements. Only the sponsor decides that, using their own criteria, some of which they may not have published.

We are not advisers

Nothing here is legal, financial or admissions advice.

Accuracy, and why the sponsor's page wins

Every record here was assembled from a page a sponsor published, without asking them first. We check what we can and we quote rather than paraphrase, but three things are outside our control: sponsors change deadlines and amounts without telling anyone, pages move, and programmes end quietly.

So the sponsor's own page is always the authority. Where our summary and their wording disagree, theirs is right and ours is a defect worth reporting. Every award page links to the source for exactly this reason.

A blank field on this site means we could not find the information. It never means the requirement does not exist. 184 of the 357 awards we list publish no deadline we could read, and those awards still appear, because hiding an award you could have won is the worse error.

Confirm the deadline and the requirements on the sponsor's page before you rely on them. A date here that has gone stale can cost you an application, and that is the failure this site works hardest to avoid and cannot rule out.

Using the site

Please do:

• Link to any page here, from anywhere.
• Quote a listing, with a link back to the page you took it from.
• Use what you find to apply for any award you want to apply for.
• Tell us when something is wrong.

Please do not:

• Copy the index wholesale to build a competing database.
• Collect the contact details in sponsors' quoted text for marketing.
• Submit someone else's email address to the alerts form.
• Attack the site, or try to reach data that is not published on it.

Alerts are for students aged 13 and over. See the privacy policy for what a signup stores, which is an email address and five fields about where you study.

Corrections and removals

Corrections are free, unconditional and fast, and so is removal. If you run a scholarship listed here and want the listing changed, want a contact detail taken out of it, or want it gone entirely, ask through the contact form. We do not ask why and there is no charge for any of it.

This matters more than a normal takedown route would, because we listed you without asking. A correction route that works is what makes that defensible.

What we are responsible for, and what we are not

We are responsible for the index being honestly built: for quoting sponsors rather than inventing text, for linking every award to its source, for leaving unknown fields blank instead of filling them with assumptions, and for fixing what you tell us is wrong.

We are not able to take responsibility for what happens after you leave this site. We do not control whether a sponsor's deadline moves, whether their page stays up, whether they run the award again, how they assess an application, or whether anyone receives an award. To the fullest extent the law allows, the site is provided as it is, and we are not liable for loss arising from relying on a listing rather than on the sponsor's own page. Nothing here limits any right you have that cannot be limited by law.

Content and ownership

The quoted eligibility text on each award page belongs to the sponsor who published it, and is reproduced so that a student can read the requirements in the sponsor's own words and check ours against them. Award names and organisation names belong to the organisations that own them, and are used here to identify the awards, not to suggest a connection.

The way this index is assembled, described and presented is ours.

Changes, and where these terms apply

If these terms change, the date at the top of the page changes with them. The service is operated from Florida, in the United States, and these terms are governed by the law of the State of Florida.
