A free, open, machine-readable directory of scholarships and student aid. Nevada first.
There is no free, openly-licensed source of scholarship data — the big aggregators keep it proprietary because the listings are the business. This is the missing public version: facts gathered from primary, official sources (state agencies, public universities, foundations), each record carrying the source it was verified against. Use it freely; just attribute it.
No key, no signup. CORS-open, CDN-served, returns JSON.

The data is facts about publicly-offered aid, gathered from official sources — never copied
from a proprietary aggregator's compiled list. Always confirm details against each record's
provenance.source_url before relying on them.
The dataset lives in the open on GitHub — one JSON file per scholarship, validated against a published schema. Corrections and new records (from official sources, with provenance) are welcome.
