Schoold Adds Personalized Scholarship Search Tool
Schoold has launched a new feature designed to help users find scholarships at their chosen schools.
"Schoold's goal is to present students with scholarships related to college and major," according to a news release. "The new functionality will continue to send personalized award opportunities that fit students' profiles. Schoold's new approach helps create re-engagement instead of requiring students to find new, relevant scholarships via individual, one-time searches."
The new tool is designed to use each user's profile and interests to present individualized and relevant scholarships. Other features include:
- A personalized scholarship scroll based on each user's profile, major and interests. If a profile is incomplete, the tool general and personal usage data to fill in gaps;
- Intelligent automated notifications;
- Machine learning designed to adapt as more users create more profiles and find useful opportunities;
- The ability to sort the scholarship list based on award amount or application deadline; and
- Detailed application process information for each scholarship.
