How recommendations work
ScholarshipTop recommendations are designed to help students build a realistic shortlist. They do not guarantee eligibility, selection, or award payment.
Student-first rule
Confirm every final requirement on the official provider page before applying.
ScholarshipTop helps students search and plan. Official providers control final eligibility, deadlines, selection, and award payment.
Application timing
Deadline clarity and urgency help students prioritize what to check and prepare first.
Data confidence
Source status, missing fields, and application-route clarity help distinguish strong leads from listings that need more checking.
Ranking factors
- Eligibility and profile match signals
- Deadline urgency and whether the date is trustworthy
- Application effort, including essays, transcripts, recommendations, and special documents
- Award value and payout clarity when available
- Source confidence and official application path
- Data completeness and missing-data flags
- Student behavior such as saved, ignored, or viewed opportunities
What rankings do not mean
A high match or visible recommendation is not a guarantee. The official provider controls eligibility, selection, deadlines, payment, and final application rules.
