Good questions.

How much can I request?

The application accepts a funding goal from $100 to $100,000 USD. This is a request limit, not a promised award. The team reviews the need and funding available.

Is there an application fee?

No. Creating a student account and submitting an application are free.

When will I hear back?

A review schedule and funding dates have not been published yet. Check your dashboard for the current status; there is no guaranteed decision or funding date.

Who sees my information?

Your account and draft are private. After your consent and approval, your profile details become visible to donors. Your email and password information stay private.

Will I receive money in my account?

The current process is for payments to your university or institution. The Scholar team handles verification and records transfers separately from incoming donations.
