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
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.
Smart discovery & matching
Students see scholarships ranked by real fit — field of study, level, and eligibility — with the reasons they match.
One-click apply
A single profile replaces endless forms. Apply to every match in seconds and track it all in one dashboard.
Create & fund in minutes
Sponsors define the award, criteria, and deadline, then fund it into escrow. Your scholarship goes live after review.
Vetting & trust built in
Every scholarship and sponsor is vetted. KYC and fraud checks keep the marketplace safe for everyone.
Merit-based selection
Structured scoring and reviewer tools help sponsors choose winners on merit — never a lottery, by design.
Escrow & disbursement
Funds are held securely and released to students or schools on the sponsor's approval, with tax handling included.
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
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.

Answers, up front
The things students and sponsors ask us most.
Still have a question? Contact usYes — 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.
