Our standards
Opportunities Bridge publishes information to help people make informed decisions about their education and careers. Accuracy and honesty come before traffic.
How we verify an opportunity
- Official source check. We confirm the opportunity exists on the host organization’s official website or an official announcement, not only on another blog or social media post.
- Details check. We confirm eligibility, funding coverage, deadlines and the application method directly from the official page.
- Legitimacy check. We look at the organization’s background, contact details and application process for warning signs, such as application fees for “guaranteed” scholarships, requests for bank details or passwords, pressure to act immediately, or contact only through personal email or messaging apps.
- Plain-language rewrite. We write in our own words and add practical guidance. We do not copy official text.
- Source link. Each opportunity links to the official page, and we show the date it was last checked.
How we choose what to publish
We publish opportunities based on usefulness to applicants. Our listings are not ranked or influenced by payment. If a post is sponsored, it is labeled clearly (see our [Affiliate and Advertising Disclosure]).
Guides and advice
Our guides are written by [authors with relevant experience] and reviewed before publication. They reflect general good practice and the experience of our writers. They are not a guarantee of selection. Final decisions are always made by the host organization.
Updates
Deadlines and rules change. We review high-traffic posts [every X months] and update the “Last updated” date when we make meaningful changes. Expired opportunities are marked as closed or redirected to the newest edition.
AI and tools
We do not publish AI-generated text without human review and fact-checking.
Independence
We are not affiliated with any scholarship provider, university or government unless stated on the page. Mentioning an opportunity is not an endorsement.
