draft, written to each program's rubric

Most "grant lists" are stale link dumps. Bursary reads the actual eligibility fine-print, flags the gates that would disqualify you, and shows only what fits.

Is this for real?

A fair question for anything about free money. Straight answers.

Is Bursary legit, or a catch?

Bursary is a search tool, not a middleman. Every match links straight to the funder's own official application page (Microsoft, AWS, the SBA, and so on). We never take a cut of any award, never handle the money, and never ask for your bank details. You apply directly on the source's site.

Why is it free?

Finding your matches and drafting your first application are free. Bursary earns money on the one-time Application Pack: pay once and it drafts every program you qualify for, written to each rubric, no subscription. The programs themselves always stay free to find and apply to.

Where does the data come from?

Every program is hand-verified against its live application page, and the list is re-scanned daily from sources like grants.gov, Devpost and SBIR. We state each program's real eligibility, deadline and any fee honestly, and flag the gates that would disqualify you before you waste time.

Do I have to pay to apply to the programs?

Almost never. The vast majority are free to apply to. A handful of grants charge a small administrative fee, and Bursary flags that fee up front on the match, so you are never surprised.

Is my data safe?

Your profile stays in your browser; we do not sell it. If you share an email for the digest, we use it only to send the matches and deadlines you asked for, and you can unsubscribe in one click. See our Privacy Policy.

Will Bursary submit applications for me?

No, and that is deliberate. Bursary finds what you qualify for and writes a tailored first draft for each program. You review it and submit it yourself on the official site, so you always stay in control of what goes out under your name.

Marco Hergi, founder of Bursary

“I’m Marco. I built Bursary because I kept missing free money I qualified for — grants, cloud credits, contest prizes — and the applications were a slog. I run every program through it myself before it ships. If a match or a draft is ever wrong, reply to my email and I’ll fix it.”
