Find funded professors & get cold emails that actually land
GradScoutFunding launched on July 28, 2026 with 2 votes.
What it does
Most students chasing a funded Master's or PhD abroad pour everything into 20 hyper-competitive scholarships. The ones who actually get funded took a quieter route: finding a professor with grant money and emailing them well enough to get a reply. GradScoutFunding automates that route: finds professors who are actively funded and taking students, writes a personalised cold email grounded in their real research (not a template with the name swapped), and handles the follow-up. Free to start.
Skip the scholarship lottery. Find funded PhD/Master's professors, get cold emails that don't sound like ChatGPT, and follow up until one says yes.
They reached over 100 professors with personalised emails, no publications or perfect CV needed, and kept going until one said yes, before that cycle's application windows closed. GradScoutFunding finds those professors and writes that email for you, the kind that doesn't sound like ChatGPT and actually earns a reply. You were never not good enough . You were just unsent . You've sent the emails by hand. Four good ones, before your brain gives out. You've watched them get opened, then ignored. You've pasted a ChatGPT draft and wondered why every professor goes quiet. You've burned real money on GRE, transcripts, and application fees. And you're still staring at an empty inbox at 1am. Here's…from gradscoutfunding.com

Hi HN, Last year, we launched a non-profit AI research lab called AI Grant (http://aigrant.org). Our goal is to fund promising people around the world working on AI. No strings attached. We've since given away over $100,000 to 30 teams working on different projects. You can see some of them here: http://aigrant.org/#finalists. We just started accepting applications for our third batch! The academic grant application process is burdensome. It's only avalible to a choice few. Applications take days to complete. AI Grant is open to anyone on the internet. You can apply…
Largest collection of pitch deck, videos and memos to fund my education2022 · fundingfyre.com · ▲30Student debt is troubling so many recent graduates that we decided to graduate debt-free from the university. We launched FundingFyre - a database of startup pitch decks, pitch videos and investment memos… all together 1,500+ items. You can filter the resources by funding round, size, etc. Many of you might be raising Seed or Series-A funding and these resources would be immensely helpful.

We’re four students (Grade 12…

I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

OpenSEO▲928Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
