Terms

Hey, thanks for being here. Before you dive in, please take a few minutes to read through these terms. We have tried to write them in plain English rather than legal jargon — because you deserve to know exactly what you are agreeing to when you use ScholarPositions.

By using this website, you agree to these terms. If something does not sit right with you, you are always free to stop using the site — no hard feelings.

What ScholarPositions Actually Is

ScholarPositions is a free, independent information resource. We research and publish information about scholarships, fellowships, grants, and exchange programs from universities and governments around the world.

We want to be completely transparent about what we are not:

  • We are not a scholarship provider or funding body
  • We are not affiliated with any university, government, or embassy
  • We do not process applications or handle any money on your behalf
  • We are not a financial aid office or counselling service

We are simply a team that finds opportunities and brings them to you in one place — for free, always.

Using the Website

What you are welcome to do

You can browse, read, and share anything on ScholarPositions for personal, non-commercial purposes. If a scholarship post helps someone you know, please share it — that is exactly why we publish this content.

What we ask you not to do

A few things that would cause real harm to the site and other users:

  • No scraping or bots. Please do not use automated tools to harvest our content. It strains the server and takes value from the work we put in.
  • No copying content without permission. Our articles are original research. If you want to quote us, link back to the source.
  • No impersonation. Do not pretend to be ScholarPositions or misrepresent any affiliation with us.
  • No malicious activity. Do not attempt to break, hack, or compromise any part of the website.
  • No misleading information. If you ever submit content, reviews, or comments, they must be honest.

Accuracy of Scholarship Information

We put genuine effort into verifying every scholarship we publish. Every listing is manually checked and linked to its official source before it goes live. That said, scholarship programs can change — deadlines shift, eligibility criteria get updated, and occasionally programs are discontinued without much notice.

Please always verify details directly with the official scholarship provider before applying. Do not rely solely on what you read here for something as important as a scholarship application. Check the official university or government website, confirm the deadline, and read the original eligibility requirements yourself.

We cannot be held responsible for missed deadlines or applications based on outdated information — not because we do not care, but because scholarship providers sometimes make changes we have no control over.

It Is Always Free — But Watch Out for Scams

ScholarPositions is and will always be free to use. We will never charge you to view scholarship listings, access our articles, or receive our newsletter.

More importantly: legitimate scholarships never require an application fee. If any website or person asks you to pay money to apply for a scholarship you found through us, that is a scam. Please do not pay and report it immediately. Your safety matters to us.

Links to External Websites

Our posts link directly to official scholarship pages — university portals, government websites, and accredited organisations. We do this so you can apply safely through the original source.

Once you leave ScholarPositions and visit an external website, we have no control over what happens there. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of any third-party site. Links to external websites are provided for your convenience and do not mean we endorse or have any formal relationship with those organisations.

Advertising

ScholarPositions displays advertisements through Google AdSense. This is how we keep the lights on and continue offering everything for free.

A few things you should know:

  • Ads are clearly separated from our editorial content — we never blend the two
  • We do not control which specific ads appear, as these are managed by Google
  • We are not responsible for the products or services advertised
  • Any future sponsored content will be clearly labelled as such

Our editorial decisions — which scholarships we publish, how we research them, what we say about them — are never influenced by advertisers. Period.

Our Content and Intellectual Property

The articles, guides, and research we publish on ScholarPositions represent hundreds of hours of work. All original content on this site belongs to ScholarPositions and is protected under copyright law.

You are welcome to quote short excerpts with a clear link back to the original article. Please do not copy full articles and republish them elsewhere — even with attribution — without written permission from us.

If you believe any content on ScholarPositions infringes your copyright, please reach out to us at contact@scholarpositions.com and we will investigate promptly.

Privacy and Your Data

How we collect and handle your data is explained in full in our Privacy Policy. The short version: we collect minimal data, we do not sell it to anyone, and we comply with applicable privacy laws including GDPR and CCPA.

No Professional Advice

Everything on ScholarPositions is for general informational purposes. We are not financial advisors, legal professionals, or official immigration counsellors. Nothing on this site should be treated as formal professional advice. For important decisions about your education, visa applications, or finances, please consult a qualified professional.

Limitation of Liability

ScholarPositions is provided as-is. While we do everything we can to keep information accurate and the site running smoothly, we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access or that every piece of information will be error-free at all times.

To the extent permitted by law, ScholarPositions and its team are not liable for any direct, indirect, or consequential losses arising from your use of this website — including missed application deadlines, unsuccessful scholarship applications, or decisions made based on information found here.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time as the site grows or as laws change. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use ScholarPositions after an update means you accept the revised terms. We will never make changes that fundamentally alter your rights without making it obvious.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Pakistan, where ScholarPositions is operated. Any disputes that cannot be resolved informally will be handled in accordance with those laws.

A reminder before you apply anywhere: always submit your application directly through the official scholarship provider’s website. Never pay anyone a fee to apply for a scholarship. If something feels off, trust your instincts and verify independently.
