What drives the odds here
Odds on a scholarship are mostly a question of how many students can enter. Each rule below changes the size of that field.

- Fewer rivalsOpen to a single grade level only
- Fewer rivalsRequires at least a 3.5 GPA
- More rivalsA large award draws far more applicants
How Solyo estimates this: We model the applicant field from how narrow the eligibility rules are, then divide the awards available by that field. Requirements such as essays and recommendation letters improve a serious applicant’s odds, because most browsers never complete them. These are estimates derived from each award's published structure, not reported acceptance rates, which almost no scholarship provider discloses. Treat them as a way to rank where the hours go, not as a guarantee.
