How AwardPing works

Academic purpose

AwardPing checks public award webpages and public PDF guides for deadline, eligibility, application, and instruction updates.

HTTPS only

The production site is served over HTTPS and is deployed on Vercel infrastructure.

Service providers

AI summary providers
