Find Scholarships Nobody Else Is Applying To.
Stop competing for huge awards with 40,000 applicants. We use AI to find the hidden gems—the awards with low competition and hyper-niche criteria where you have a real chance.
We scraped the entire internet so you don't have to.
2,400+ hidden awards indexed · Updated daily
The Scholarship Game Is Rigged. We Unrig It.
The Problem
Every student uses the same 3 scholarship sites. That means the same awards get flooded with 10,000–50,000 applicants. Your odds? Nearly zero.
The Insight
Thousands of scholarships exist on small foundation websites, local club pages, and niche organizations — places Google barely indexes. Many get fewer than 20 applicants.
The Edge
DeadLetter's AI scours these hidden corners of the internet, scores every award by its 'Leverage,' and matches you to ones where you have a real competitive advantage.
This Is What a Hidden Gem Looks Like
Midwest Beekeeping Heritage Scholarship
Most students will never find this award. It lives on a single page of a county beekeeping club's website. DeadLetter found it, scored it, and can tell you exactly how to win it.

"I built DeadLetter because I watched friends miss out on thousands of dollars in scholarships — not because they weren't qualified, but because they never knew those scholarships existed. The system rewards students who know where to look. I wanted to level that playing field."— Ryan, Founder of DeadLetter
