Scholarship Auditor exists to give students accurate scholarship information. This page explains how we research, check, update and correct what we publish.
Our sources
Scholarship facts come from the official provider: the university, government agency or foundation that offers the award. We link to the official application page and the official eligibility page in every scholarship post. We do not use other scholarship blogs as a source of facts.
How we verify a scholarship
- We confirm the provider, the level of study, what the award pays for and the deadline, including the time zone.
- We check whether applicants from Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia and The Gambia are eligible.
- We check current requirements such as essays, word limits, language tests and documents.
- We open and test every official link before publishing.
- We record the date of our check as “Last verified” at the top of the post.
Where the provider has not yet released information for a new application cycle, we say so clearly rather than guess.
Updates and closed scholarships
We review scholarship posts when a new application cycle opens and when a deadline passes. Expired scholarships are marked as closed with the expected date of the next cycle, so readers are never misled.
Sample documents
Our guides include sample motivation letters, statements and CVs to show structure and approach. The samples are original writing about fictional applicants. Many providers check applications for copied or machine-generated text, so readers should write their own documents in their own words.
Independence
We do not accept payment to feature a scholarship, and advertising has no influence on our content. We never ask readers to pay to apply, and we warn readers about common scholarship scams.
Corrections
If you find an error, email info@scholarshipauditor.com with the page link and the official source. We check every report, correct confirmed errors promptly and update the “Last verified” date.
