Currently, each Scholarship Genie account supports one primary student profile. You can add multiple intended majors and activity tags to your single profile to match with a wide range of programs. If your focus changes, you can edit your profile details at any time.

Your personal data is protected using enterprise-level encryption both in transit and at rest. We store your information in secure Google Cloud databases with strict access controls. We never sell your personal information to third parties.

PrecisionMatch™ automatically compares your profile details against the specific eligibility rules of every scholarship in our database. It looks at your GPA, major, location, academic year, and personal background. It filters out awards you do not qualify for and shows you the ones where you meet the requirements.

Status tags show you whether a scholarship is currently accepting applications.

• Open The scholarship is accepting applications right now.
• Upcoming The scholarship opens soon, giving you time to prepare your materials.
• Closed The deadline has passed, and applications are no longer accepted for this cycle.

Our database is updated continuously throughout each week with new awards and verified deadlines. Our team and automated systems review opportunities to ensure requirements and links remain active and accurate.

Requirements vary by scholarship, but most programs ask for transcripts, a personal essay, and letters of recommendation. Some awards also ask for a student resume, portfolio, or proof of enrollment. Each scholarship page clearly lists the exact checklist under What You Need to Apply.

The Document Vault acts as the brain behind your EssayAssistant™. When you upload your personal documents (like a resume, transcript, or a past essay) to the Vault via your Dashboard, you can select up to 5 of them when generating a new essay draft.

The AI will extract your real-world achievements from these documents and weave them into the new essay's narrative, ensuring the resulting draft is highly personalized and authentic to your background.

Available exclusively to Pro and Ultra members, the AI Critique feature evaluates your draft against a comprehensive scholarship rubric.

When you click "Critique Draft" in the application workspace, the system grades your essay from 1 to 10 across five categories: Prompt Fulfillment, Contextual Integration, Provider Alignment, Authenticity & Voice, and Mechanics & Flow.

It also highlights specific phrases in your text. Click on any highlighted text in the editor to view actionable, inline feedback on how to improve that specific sentence.

If you have a Pro or Ultra plan, you can use the targeted rewrite tool directly inside the editor.

Simply use your mouse to highlight a sentence or paragraph you want to change. A floating toolbar will appear above the text. You can click Concise to shorten it, Expand to lengthen it, or type a custom instruction (e.g., "Make this sound more professional") into the text box and press the arrow button. The AI will instantly replace your highlighted text with a rewritten version.

Yes. Every time you trigger an AI generation or targeted text rewrite, the workspace automatically saves a snapshot of your editor's current state.

Click the History button in the top navigation bar of the application workspace to view a timestamped list of your previous drafts. Clicking a snapshot will ask for confirmation before reverting your editor to that exact version.

To keep your workspace organized and optimized, your active drafts and snapshot histories are saved automatically as you work. However, to prevent permanent clutter, any essays left in "Draft" status for scholarships whose application deadlines passed more than 60 days ago are automatically deleted.

You can view your saved awards directly under the My Favorites tab on your Dashboard or within the Scholarships Explorer.

1. 1 Log in to your account.
2. 2 Click Dashboard in the top navigation bar.
3. 3 Click the My Favorites tab to see all your bookmarked awards.
