Scholly

Scholly is a scholarship-matching mobile app founded in 2013 by Christopher Gray, a Philadelphia-based entrepreneur who personally won $1.3 million in scholarships to fund his own education. The app simplifies the scholarship search process by matching students with personalized scholarship opportunities based on their profile, replacing outdated and time-consuming manual search methods. Scholly helped millions of members secure over $100 million in scholarships before being acquired by Sallie Mae in July 2023. The app was originally co-founded by Drexel University students and became widely known after a Shark Tank appearance.
