Alert when applications open

Many scholarships, grants, and programs don't send a reminder. The page just says "Applications open soon" for months. Then one day the wording changes, and you only notice if you happen to check. Miss it by a few days and you may lose your spot or your time to prepare.

WatchForMe watches the page for you. You describe it in plain English, like "Tell me when 'Applications are open' appears on [paste the page link]." The request becomes a watch automatically. When that phrase shows up on the public page, you get an email right away. You can run a free check on your link before you pay, so you know the page can be read.

How to set it up

  1. Paste the link to the scholarship, grant, or program page and type the words you expect to see, such as "Applications are open."
  2. Run the free check to confirm WatchForMe can read your page, then pick a plan.
  3. Wait for the email. Each watch has a private link where you can see it or stop it.

Questions

What kinds of pages can I watch?

Any public web page. That includes scholarship pages, grant listings, and program or school pages. If you need to log in to see it, WatchForMe can't watch it.

How do I know it will work on my page?

Use the free check first. It confirms your link before you pay. If it still doesn't work for your page, you can ask for a refund within 7 days.

How much does it cost?

It's a one-time payment with no subscription and no account. $3 gets 1 watch for 30 days, checked every 60 minutes. $5 gets 3 watches, checked every 30 minutes. $12 gets 10 watches, checked every 15 minutes. Prices include tax.

Do I need an app or browser extension?

No. You type your request, and the alert comes by email.

Can I watch several programs at once?

Yes. The $5 plan covers 3 watches and the $12 plan covers 10, each for 30 days. That's handy if you're applying to several scholarships or programs.
