SchoolSoup.com - World's Largest Scholarship Database - We are proud to introduce the world's largest scholarship database located at www.SchoolSoup.com. Compare the size of our database ($32 Billion in awards) to other popular scholarship search websites.  Our website is new but our experience in scholarship research is not. We have been collecting scholarship information since 1988 and leasing it to a limited number of Fortune 500 companies. Now for the first time our private scholarship database is available to the general public - free of charge.  At SchoolSoup.com we do not collect students' personal information for resale to third parties - making SchoolSoup both the best and the safest place for students to research scholarships on the internet.  In addition to scholarships, Schoolsoup will soon offer students a college test prep center and a career assessment and job placement center.
