Scholly uses eight specific parameters — such as state, race, GPA or major — to instantly filter listings into a comprehensive directory of scholarships.
Slow economic recovery is lessening some parents' ability to pay for college out-of-pocket — and more households are becoming reliant upon scholarships to finance their child's post-secondary education.
Thirty-nine percent of families used scholarship funds to pay for college during the 2012-13 academic year, based on data from a recent Sallie Mae study — and now there's an app to make finding them easier: Scholly, released in May.
"It's extremely simple," says Christopher Gray, 21, a Drexel University junior who is also the founder and CEO of Scholly. "That was the goal."
Gray, dubbed the "Million-Dollar Scholar," was awarded $1.3 million in scholarships and has spent the past three years helping other families find them as well — but manually searching through untailored database results for each student was tedious and inefficient.
"It was kind of natural to say, 'Hey, I need something that can help,' " he says. "There has to be a faster way."
