They'd rather do literally anything than start another one.

It isn't that they're lazy. Scholarship applications are genuinely tedious and repetitive. So we built the tool that does the tedious part for them, in their own words.

Growing up as the first in my family to apply to college, I learned to turn obstacles into momentum. Leading our school's robotics team taught me that progress comes from showing up for the people counting on you, even when the outcome is uncertain.

The honest way to use AI on scholarship applications

Every application is built from your teen's real life, written in their voice, and approved by them before it's ever sent.

Built from their real experiences

Every draft starts from your teen's own stories, activities, and writing samples. It never invents awards or experiences.

Your teen approves every word

Nothing is submitted automatically. They read, edit, and choose exactly what to send.

Writes like a human, not a robot

No clichés and no AI tells. It sounds like your teen on their best day, tuned to each scholarship.

Private and secure

Their information is encrypted and never sold. You decide which scholarships they apply to.

Not generic AI. Written in your voice.

Every essay draws from your writing samples, background, activities, and intended major to sound like you.

Generic AI

Ever since I was a young child, I have always been passionate about making a difference in the world. My journey — one woven from the rich tapestry of my experiences — has been a testament to the power of perseverance. Education is, and always has been, the key to unlocking my potential. I am writing to express my sincere interest in this scholarship — it would be an honor and a privilege to receive it. In today's ever-changing society, I believe it is our duty to give back — and I am committed to doing just that.

With Award ScholarAward Scholar

The summer our robotics team ran out of parts before regionals, I rebuilt our budget spreadsheet from scratch, tracking every sensor and motor so no freshman would have to sit out a match the way I once did. That's the kind of engineer I want to become at State. My family doesn't have a tradition of going to college, so every step has been something I mapped out myself. This scholarship would let me focus on design projects instead of picking up a third part-time job.

Parent questions

The honest answers parents ask most about using AI to apply for scholarships.

No, as long as the work is genuinely your teen's, which is exactly how Award Scholar is built. It drafts from their real stories and writing, they edit every line, and they submit only what's true to them. Most scholarships don't ban AI assistance, but if a specific program does, don't use it there.

Yes. Every draft starts from their own experiences and writing samples, so it matches their voice instead of sounding generic. They can change any line before it goes out.

Less than you'd think. They answer a few questions to build their profile once, then review and approve the applications. The tedious part, finding scholarships and drafting each one, is handled for them.

It's free to set up a profile and see the scholarships your teen qualifies for. Applying with AI is a paid subscription, and it's backed by our guarantee: if they don't win more than you pay over the year, we refund the difference.

Yes. Their data is encrypted in transit and at rest and is never sold to third parties. You and your teen control exactly which scholarships they apply to and when.

No, earlier is better. There are scholarships for every grade, and starting now means more applications, more practice, and more money in hand before senior year gets busy.

Then it shouldn't cost you. If your teen actively uses Award Scholar for a year and doesn't win more in scholarships than you paid, we make up the difference. The goal is for it to more than pay for itself.

Your teen could be one application away from thousands of dollars

Stop nagging. Start their profile in 3 minutes.
