For lenders and fintech

Help families find free money first.

Families trust lenders who show them scholarships before a loan. Add scholarship search to your app, or sponsor a scholarship students will remember you for.

Talk to us See Catalog API

How can a student lender help families find scholarships?

Show scholarships a student may qualify for before the loan step, using TuitionCovered's catalog through the API, and consider sponsoring a recurring scholarship under your name. Both build trust with families at the moment they're deciding how to pay.

What you can build

Scholarships before borrowing

Show matching scholarships in your application flow or planning tools, before the loan amount.

Planning tools

Next to costs, show which awards a student could apply for, and by when.

A scholarship with your name on it

Sponsor a recurring award. We run it fairly, publish real winners and report reach every cycle.

How it works

Show the best open matches before the student chooses a loan amount (fits() as on the advising page).

A scholarships step before the loan

// Before the loan amount step: scholarships worth applying for first.
const open = catalog.filter((s) => fits(s, student, today));
const top = open
  .sort((a, b) => (b.award.amount ?? 0) - (a.award.amount ?? 0))
  .slice(0, 5);

render({
  heading: `${open.length} scholarships you may qualify for`,
  note: "Apply before you borrow: scholarships don't need paying back.",
  items: top.map((s) => ({
    title: s.title,
    amount: s.award.amount,
    deadline: s.dates.deadline,
    href: s.apply_url,
  })),
});

What to use

Student lenders: common questions

Can we sponsor a scholarship and use the API?

Yes. Many lenders want both: data in their product and a scholarship under their name.

Do we get applicants' details from a sponsored scholarship?

Not today. You get aggregate reports. Any lead sharing would be opt-in per sponsor with clear consent from each student.

Can we total up what a student could win?

We'd advise against it: students may qualify, not win. Show counts and the strongest matches instead.

How is it priced?

It depends on your traffic and how you'll use the data. Tell us what you're building and roughly how many students you expect, and we'll quote. You start on a pilot with real keys before you sign.
