sponsor a scholarship. reach the students who actually qualify.

Most scholarship sites sell your award a mailing list. Gigsup puts it in front of students whose profile matches your criteria, and can run the entire program for you: application, screening, shortlist, winner. 100% of the award goes to a student. Not one student record is ever sold.

a $1,000 award, done well, is the cheapest brand campaign you will run this year.

Why businesses fund scholarships

Talent you meet early

Applicants are students choosing a field. A trades, health or STEM award puts your name in front of your next hires two years before they graduate.

Links from schools

School and district sites list scholarships their students can apply to, and link to the sponsor. Those links are the reason SEO agencies charge $1,000 per link for this. We do the school outreach for you.

A story worth telling

A winner, a photo, a reason. Sponsors get a Gigsup feature and a ready-to-post announcement. It reads better than an ad because it is not one.

Zero admin

Managed programs mean you never read 400 applications. You get a shortlist of three with our notes and you pick.
