Our Editorial Process
Every article on SchollyJob goes through a consistent production process designed to ensure accuracy, specificity, and usefulness before publication.
Source Verification
We begin every article with the official program website, government portal, or university admissions page. All factual claims about deadlines, stipend amounts, eligibility requirements, and application procedures are sourced directly from official documentation, not from secondary aggregator sites or previous coverage.
Expert Drafting
Articles are drafted by the editor with direct experience in the relevant program category. Scholarship articles are written by editors who have personally applied for, won, or researched these programs. Career guides are written by editors with direct professional experience in the relevant sector.
Accuracy Review
Every published article is reviewed by Lena Hoffmann, our Research and Accuracy Editor, who checks all factual claims against official sources before publication. Discrepancies are resolved by returning to the primary source.
Publication and Monitoring
After publication, we monitor major programs for deadline changes, eligibility updates, and program closures. When programs change, articles are updated and the last-updated date is revised. Readers can report suspected inaccuracies through our contact page.
Annual Review Cycle
Every article undergoes a full review and update at the start of each scholarship application cycle, typically August to October for the Northern Hemisphere academic year. Articles covering programs that have closed or significantly changed are updated or retired.
Our Editorial Principles
Verified First
Every program detail is checked against the official source before publication. We do not repeat information from other scholarship websites without independent verification.
Specific Over Vague
We give exact deadlines, exact amounts, and exact portal URLs. We do not publish vague guidance that leaves you no better informed than before you arrived.
No Paid Placements
We do not accept payment to feature programs. Our coverage decisions are driven entirely by what is genuinely useful to our readers.
Always Free
Every resource on SchollyJob is and will remain completely free. We will never charge to read our content or access our guides.
Globally Relevant
We write for students and professionals from all countries, with specific attention to applicants from Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and other regions underserved by mainstream scholarship guides.
Honest About Difficulty
We tell you realistic acceptance rates, honest preparation timelines, and what the actual selection criteria mean for your specific profile. We do not tell you that every opportunity is easy or that effort alone guarantees success.
