One Frustrated Mom.
One Brilliant Idea.
AppCentri was born out of a simple but all-too-familiar experience: a mom watching her high schooler struggle to navigate the chaotic world of scholarship applications.
Our Story
As an educator and instructional designer, our founder saw how inefficient and overwhelming the scholarship process was-not just for students, but for counselors and committees, too. She knew there had to be a better way.
What started as a school-based project in 2015 became a fully featured platform used by 40+ schools-and counting. Every feature in AppCentri was designed in partnership with real educators, for real students.
Because every student deserves a shot at higher education. And every counselor deserves tools that work.
What Our Partners Are Saying
Since our official founding in 2023, AppCentri has connected students, educators, and organizations to make higher education accessible for all.

Carole, Louisville Public Schools Counselor
I was more motivated to fill out as many applications as I could. I found this to be very helpful and convenient. Without the website I would not have filled out as many applications.
Josie, High School Student
Students could apply for 10 scholarships in minutes. Even the reviewers loved it.
