EdTech Startup Democratizes Higher Education

    DUBAI, UAE, June 15, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With a growing need for more options when it comes to university studies, a new tech startup is tackling the issues that international students face when applying to university programs abroad. Many universities in China, India, and the Middle East are at capacity and competition is at an all-time high, creating a huge demand for students to study internationally. Once the purview of educational agents, SchoolApply is bringing more transparency and convenience to the daunting process of studying abroad.

"We're connecting students to schools that suit their unique educational needs, instead of a recruiter's paid interests," says Daniel Bjarne, founder of SchoolApply. "We're democratizing higher education."

According to a study by the British Council, many students around the world turn to educational agents out of a lack of confidence in understanding how applying to international universities works. There's a perception that studying abroad is a huge and complicated process with a lot of hurdles to overcome. SchoolApply lowers this barrier to entry by providing unbiased information and assistance to students who want to study abroad, and ensuring the choice of school is in the student's best interests, and not other parties.

At SchoolApply, we strongly believe that a great education is for everyone. We are determined to significantly improve how students find, select, and apply to educational programs and schools around the world. We do this by making school information easily available, accessible, and actionable. SchoolApply helps students from anywhere in the world connect with schools that best match their needs and potential.

Launched February 1st 2016, SchoolApply is an online platform that matches students with programs at undergraduate and postgraduate schools that fit their needs and qualifications. We list more than 4,000 schools accepting international students all over the world. SchoolApply's admissions officers - academic professionals and former study abroad students - offer personalized assistance to applicants navigating the complicated application process before students apply to their selected schools. Our streamlined online application process combines and connects students with their top choices and tracks acceptance letters.
