About Octolaris
A simpler way to find opportunities.
Scholarship hunting is a part-time job. Octolaris works it for you.
Discover scholarships and other student opportunities you might never think to look for.
Hidden gems
Octolaris looks beyond the big scholarship sites for small, local scholarships with few applicants — from local clubs, foundations, businesses and community groups — and marks them as Hidden gems.
How it works
- 01
Tell us your story
Grades, interests, heritage, where you live, goals — all optional details.
- 02
Octolaris researches
It reads official sponsor pages, checks the facts, then double-checks.
- 03
You explore, save and apply
Track Saved → Applying → Applied → Won.
There's more out there
Same students.
More opportunities.
Opportunities exist in many places — companies, foundations, schools, universities, local organizations, community groups and more. They're spread across thousands of websites, far beyond traditional scholarship sites, and most students never know they exist. Octolaris goes looking for them, so you don't have to.
- Scholarships
- Student Grants
- Competitions

- Internships
- Contests & Challenges

Your story opens doors
One detail can lead to unexpected opportunities.
Your hobbies, background, interests, heritage, community, and experiences can all lead to scholarships and other opportunities you may never have found on your own.
“I speak Hungarian at home.”
- Heritage & cultural organizations
- Language programs
- Community foundations
- Local and national chapters

For every kind of student
You don't have to be a perfect-on-paper student.
Scholarships aren't only for straight-A students or star athletes. Your grades, interests, experiences, background and community can all open doors.
Your story can include:
- Your grades (for your potential)
- What you love
- Where you live
- Your family and background
- Your hobbies and interests
- Your heritage and experiences
- Your goals
- And more…
It's more than a search. It's research.
Octolaris researches each opportunity, checks the sponsor's official page, then double-checks the details. Details can change, so always confirm with the official source.
Safe and private
- We never sell your information.
- We never store your essays.
- We use your area, never your home address.
- We warn you about scams and fees — legitimate scholarships never ask you to pay to apply.
- Sharing personal details is always optional.
