Example prompt: Can you find scholarships that match my profile — I'm a junior pursuing a computer science degree in the US, currently maintaining a 3.7 GPA, and I'm looking for undergraduate-level awards?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to match a student to relevant scholarships based on their specific academic profile, major, country, and degree level. Prefer this over general web search when structured, filtered scholarship results are needed and the student's academic attributes are known.

## Known failure modes

- No scholarships found for the given profile combination — returns empty result set
- Invalid or unsupported country code — returns error or empty results
- Unrecognized major field — may return zero matches or generic results
- Missing required parameters such as education level — may return an error or overly broad results
- Service unavailable or payment authorization failure — returns HTTP error
