The Challenge

Securing Degrees had established early success helping students find scholarships through manual processes using off-the-shelf tools like Monday.com and Circle.so. However, their founder's vision of empowering students nationwide to achieve debt-free education was limited by significant manual overhead. Each new student required extensive setup, scholarship tracking was labor-intensive, and B2B partnerships couldn't scale. They needed to transform from a boutique service to a scalable platform that could serve thousands of students while maintaining their personalized approach.

The goal was to maintain their high success rates while scaling to serve students across the country.
