Archway isn't a search engine. It's an AI that reads the full picture of who a student is — and builds a personalized list of scholarships they actually qualify for.
A scholarship match is only as good as the context behind it. Archway asks for the details that actually matter: activities and achievements, background and heritage, academic goals, career vision, and the personal circumstances that make this student's path unique.
When you hit Run Scout, Archway sends the full student profile to Claude AI — the same model used by thousands of professionals. Claude doesn't keyword-match. It reasons about the student's specific combination of traits and finds scholarships that reward exactly that combination.
Each match includes a Story Fit Score (0–100), a personalized explanation of why this student is a strong candidate, the actual essay prompt, and relevant tags. You get 8–10 matches per run, including large national awards, niche and regional funds, and hidden-gem scholarships most students never find.
Ten matches at once can be overwhelming. Archway gives you full control over how you review them.
Archway isn't just a list — it's a tracker. Each scholarship card has a status that you update as the application progresses. Add notes per card for requirements, contacts, essay ideas, or anything else you need to remember.
A student's profile isn't static. New achievements, updated GPA, a clearer career vision — each of these changes the scholarship landscape. With Archway you can update any field in the profile and run a fresh scout, and every session is saved separately so you can compare results over time.
When a scholarship comes through, mark it as Awarded, enter the amount, and Archway tallies your season total automatically. The full picture — every scholarship you tracked, its status, what you won — is captured in one place for the duration of your application season.
These features are in active development and will be available to Season Pass and Counselor tiers first.
Upload official scholarship guidelines from the awarding organization. Archway reads the actual 2026 document so matches are based on real current criteria — not approximations. Shared across users for the same scholarship, with staleness warnings after 10 months.
Request a letter directly from within Archway. Your recommender receives a professional briefing about the scholarship and a student highlight reel. They submit the letter through a secure link, and you get notified instantly. Full status tracking: Requested → Sent → Submitted.
Upload a draft essay or resume. Archway reviews it against the scholarship's stated values and returns specific, actionable feedback — not generic writing advice. Counselor Pro tier gets access to Claude Opus for the deepest qualitative analysis.
Generate a PDF report for any student: their scholarship pipeline, upcoming deadlines, application status for each, LOR status, and AI-generated next actions. Designed for counselor meetings, parent reviews, and end-of-season summaries.
