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.
Our Approach
The concept was to create a comprehensive scholarship management ecosystem that could automate the entire student journey while preserving the human touch that made Securing Degrees successful. The platform needed to intelligently match students with relevant scholarships, track application progress, enable seamless communication with advisors, and provide powerful admin tools for managing large-scale B2B partnerships. The goal was to maintain their high success rates while scaling to serve students across the country.
