ScholarAid, Inc. was founded in January, 1998, by Ali M. Azhar and Robert J. Herrin, while they attended the University of North Florida in Jacksonville. Azhar and Herrin created ScholarAid.com to help students find money for college after experiencing first hand the arduous task of obtaining funds to help offset the cost of college. ScholarAid.com developed a system for indexing scholarships at the national, state, and local level. This was the result of Azhar and Herrin's recognition that a large number of awards at the state and local level are overlooked by qualified potential applicants. What started out as a home-based project is now a nationally recognized service listing over 500,000 awards.
