Scholarships, without the runaround

The hunt for scholarships is broken. Here's what changes with Pavevia.

Scholarships are scattered across hundreds of sites

One place to discover every scholarship you qualify for

"Application fees" that are really scams

Always free — Pavevia never charges students to apply

The same essay and forms, over and over

One profile powers one-click apply to every match

No idea if you even qualify

Matching shows your fit and why, before you apply

How it works

Everything it takes to open a door

From discovery to disbursement, Pavevia runs the whole scholarship — so students focus on applying and sponsors focus on giving.

Students

Smart discovery & matching

Students see scholarships ranked by real fit — field of study, level, and eligibility — with the reasons they match.

Students

One-click apply

A single profile replaces endless forms. Apply to every match in seconds and track it all in one dashboard.

Sponsors

Create & fund in minutes

Sponsors define the award, criteria, and deadline, then fund it into escrow. Your scholarship goes live after review.

Trust & safety

Vetting & trust built in

Every scholarship and sponsor is vetted. KYC and fraud checks keep the marketplace safe for everyone.

Sponsors

Merit-based selection

Structured scoring and reviewer tools help sponsors choose winners on merit — never a lottery, by design.

Sponsors

Escrow & disbursement

Funds are held securely and released to students or schools on the sponsor's approval, with tax handling included.

For sponsors

Give more, manage less

Running a scholarship is hard. Pavevia takes the operational weight off your hands.

Running a scholarship yourself is a legal and tax maze

Pavevia handles vetting, selection, disbursement, and tax forms

Hard to reach the right students

Your scholarship is matched to qualified applicants automatically

Picking winners fairly is fraught

Merit-based scoring and review tools — never a random draw

Getting money to students safely

Funds sit in secure escrow and release only on your approval

Built on trust

The promises we don't break

Scholarships attract scams. Pavevia is built to be the opposite — safe, fair, and free for the students who need it.

Free for students, always

We never charge students to search, match, or apply. Our revenue comes from sponsors, not applicants.

Merit, not a lottery

Winners are chosen on eligibility and merit against clear criteria — never a random draw.

Funds held in escrow

Sponsor funds sit in secure escrow and release only when a winner is confirmed.

Vetted on both sides

Scholarships and sponsors are reviewed, with KYC and fraud checks before anything goes live.

Questions

Answers, up front

The things students and sponsors ask us most.

Still have a question? Contact us

Yes — completely. Students never pay to build a profile, get matched, or apply. If anyone ever asks a student to pay to apply for a scholarship, that's a red flag. We make money from sponsors who fund scholarships, never from applicants.

A door opens when someone funds it.

Whether you're chasing your education or helping someone reach theirs, Pavevia is where it starts.

Free for students, forever. No credit card to start.
