Scholarship Link Building and Getting the Word Out

If your company offers a scholarship to prospective and current college students, then good on you. Now you need to advertise your scholarship opportunity in as many places as possible to reach as many of your targeted students as possible.

Below is a list I compiled that will get your scholarship seen. Some of them will turn into links back to your website which is also a side benefit. Scholarship directories and submission flows change often, so verify the current process before you spend time on any one listing.

https://www.fastweb.com

You can submit scholarships for free as long as you follow the following criteria: https://www.fastweb.com/content/scholarship-provider-guidelines

It doesn’t appear that it will become a link but it will be a brand mention and potentially get some exposure.

https://studentscholarships.org

Scholarship listing pages on the site can include followed links back to the provider.

Adding a scholarship appears to be free: https://studentscholarships.org/scholarship-upload

https://www.honorsociety.org/scholarship-directory

Followed links and category pages like, https://www.honorsociety.org/scholarship-directory?tid=38905 and company/scholarship pages like, https://www.honorsociety.org/scholarships/king-charles-lucille-family-foundation-undergraduate-scholarships

I can’t find an easy way to submit a scholarship. The best option I found so far, besides calling them, is https://support.honorsociety.org/hc/en-us/requests/new

Submit scholarship here: https://scholarshipowl.com/list-your-scholarship

Their directory appears to hide behind a login so it won’t count for links but it can still get you some exposure to students.

How to submit scholarship: https://www.careeronestop.org/Toolkit/Training/scholarship-finder-help.aspx. “How can I add, remove, or change scholarship information provided by Scholarship Finder? Requests for additions, removals, or any other changes can be sent to info@careeronestop.org.”

Directory is hidden behind membership account but still worth submitting.

https://www.scholarships.com

Several individual scholarship listing pages did not link to their website. Here is one example: https://www.scholarships.com/financial-aid/college-scholarships/scholarship-directory/artistic-ability/art-furnishing-and-design/agl-over-the-rainbow-foundation.

But I found this, https://www.scholarships.com/scholarship-providers-resources/scholarship-provider-guidelines/, which says, “Scholarship URL must link directly to provider’s scholarship page. Scholarship information landing pages must be hosted on a web page specific to the scholarship, at a domain/URL registered to the scholarship provider.” So it seems like you can get a link.

The submission form is here: https://www.scholarships.com/scholarship-providers-resources/list-your-scholarship/create-account

https://www.listsofscholarships.com

This site lists your scholarship with a followed link. Example: – https://www.listsofscholarships.com/avalaunch-media-scholarship/
