The Challenge

Millions of students and researchers worldwide remain uninformed about academic opportunities
Thousands of Universities worldwide struggle to sufficiently communicate and deliver their academic offers to targeted audiences
Lack of standardized data on students and funds offered, resulting in lack of funds to certain group of students and/or certain fields of studies, such as STEM
Million dollars of scholarships remain unclaimed, just because students who are eligible for those funds lack of information about existence of such opportunities
