We're so excited to have made the top 20!

Searching for scholarships has never been easier.

In January, StudentAdvisor released ScholarshipAdvisor, a free scholarship search application for iPhone and iPad. Thanks to the support of our users, ScholarshipAdvisor has become a Top 20 education app and has helped thousands of students find the money they need for college.

This week, we have also launched the web version of ScholarshipAdvisor, which can be accessed on any web-enabled device. On both the ScholarshipAdvisor website and mobile application, users can search, browse, save and share scholarship listings. All scholarship listings are available free when a user creates an account on StudentAdvisor.com.

To make ScholarshipAdvisor an even better app, we need your feedback. Please consider writing us a review on the App store, or contacting us directly about how we can make the scholarship search experience better for you.

Students generally apply to anywhere between five and ten colleges, and the final choice of which college they will attend often comes down to the financial aid package a college offers.

Scholarship Saturday: Scholarships for Jewish and Christian Students

  
  
  

In the spirit of the religious holidays of Passover and Easter that are being celebrated this week, Student Advisor has published scholarship lists for both Jewish and Christian students. Check out our free scholarship app to see more like these:

JVS Scholarship Fund

This fund  is available to Jewish undergraduate and graduate students who are at least 16 years of age and planning to enroll full-time at an approved college or vocational school in the U.S.

Stephen C. and H. Max Ammerman Memorial GU Scholarship

In the spring of 1972, the Ammerman family established a scholarship in tribute to their son, Stephen C. Ammerman, who was killed in Thailand in February 1972. The scholarship was renamed in 1989 to honor also the memory of Stephen's father, the late H. Max Ammerman. Scholarships are awarded to students in each of the undergraduate schools who demonstrate financial need for Georgetown scholarship aid, with preference in selection to students with an interest in Asian affairs or languages, or Judaic traditions, or who are from Washington, D.C.

Italian Catholic Federation Scholarships

These scholarships are for Roman Catholic students of Italian descent who reside in Arizona, California, Illinois and Nevada.

Faith & Education Scholarship Fund

This scholarship fund is dedicated to developing leaders within the Churches of Christ faith tradition who are committed to serving both their church and their community.

If these scholarships don't apply to you, there are thousands of additional scholarships in the StudentAdvisor mobile app, free for the iPhone and iPad!
