The KickScholar approach
Find money. Win money. Raise money.
Three simple steps to find, win and raise money for your education.
Find money
Discover scholarships you're likely eligible for.
We compare each scholarship's stated requirements with the facts you've confirmed: grade level, location, GPA, activities and more. Exact rules are checked in code; judgment calls like leadership or fit are flagged as AI suggestions with the evidence behind them.
- Matches with the reasons listed
- What's missing, and where to answer it
- Deadlines and effort up front
- Official sources, with when we last checked them
Personal statement

Win money
Prepare stronger, truthful applications.
The copilot helps you choose the right story for each prompt, outline and draft from your own confirmed profile, and checks every claim against it. It never invents a grade, an award or an experience, and it never submits anything for you.
- Story selection for each prompt
- Outlines and drafts in your voice
- A fact check on every claim
- You review, edit and approve
Raise money
Create a funding profile and receive support.
Share your goals, a clear budget and your story with family, mentors and your community. You choose every field that becomes public, and supporters contribute through a secure checkout. Students under 18 set this up with a parent or guardian.
- A budget with the gap after aid
- Your story, in your words
- Secure contributions through Stripe
- Updates and thank-yous to supporters
