Company Description
At Scholly, we are dedicated to developing game-changing technology platforms for students, parents and institutions that help every individual access and afford the higher education opportunity they want.
Scholly is an easy way to find scholarships for high school seniors, current undergraduates, and graduate students. Designed to ease the scholarship search process, Scholly's adaptive matching engine promises to deliver smarter, targeted lists of scholarships. Scholly seeks to fix the current outdated process that requires students to fill out long, tiresome forms and then fail to deliver relevant results. All this in the form factor of mobile applications.
WHY US?
At Scholly, we believe in making higher education accessible to any student who desires it. One of the biggest barriers for students entering college is the ever rising cost of attending both private and public institutions. We work hard and fast to imagine and create solutions that help students find ways to lower the barriers to higher education.
We're a small but growing team nestled in the heart of Philadelphia. Working at Scholly, you would be responsible for a wide range of projects and would see big changes created by you released on a regular basis. We adapt quickly, creating a constant stream of new ideas and opportunities to help make a difference in students' lives.
Join us and see how you can make a difference in communities across the country by helping more people get the education they deserve!

The ideal candidate has experience selling to colleges and universities and civic-minded corporations. The role will be responsible for making an immediate and measurable impact on our top-line revenue growth over the coming months.
