Over 500,000 Indian students sought higher education overseas in 2022 alone - a significant number by any standard.

A new trailblazing edtech startup is aiming to transform millions of aspirant Indian students' access to higher education. SecureMyScholarship.com, headquartered in Dubai, is on a mission to increase access to high-quality education by assisting students in connecting with scholarship possibilities to study at international universities.
Affordable higher education possibilities for India's youth are a major concern in a country where quality higher education is typically considered a privilege restricted only to the more affluent. Many aspirants have given up on their goals of enrolling in top ranked universities across the globe due to the hefty expenses of studying overseas.
This, however, is a small portion of the 13 million Indian students who turn 18 every year. Ask any of these 13 million young, ambitious Indians and most will tell you that they dream of studying at top universities in the United States and the United Kingdom, among other countries. Sadly, fewer than 5% of them will be able to fulfill this dream, underscoring the need for a more efficient system.
By providing students with guaranteed scholarships and fee waivers at its partner colleges and universities, SecureMyScholarship seeks to close this gap. At the center of its platform is a state-of-the-art scholarship search engine supported by its robust technological infrastructure.
The platform ensures that students and university scholarship opportunities are matched precisely and thoroughly. Thousands of young people from India and worldwide have radically changed their lives through SecureMyScholarship, which has developed a transparent, user-friendly pathway to help students significantly minimize their university tuition fees. The platform also guarantees that the scholarship funds reach the intended beneficiaries - intelligent and ambitious young minds limited only by their financial circumstances - ensuring that all students who proceed through SecureMyScholarship are financially secured.
In November 2021, Craig and Ian Fernandes, a father-son team of NRIs living in Dubai, founded SecureMyScholarship with the goal of giving teenagers and young adults from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds equal access to quality higher education. The firm has grown incredibly since its founding, and now boasts a team of 25 team members based in over 5 countries around the world. A network of angel investors have also joined Craig and Ian on this journey, allowing the duo to raise over $500,000 in capital to build and scale the platform.
Visitors can find scholarships for students at universities in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Dubai by visiting the SecureMyScholarship.com website and browse through over 80,000 courses from over 300 partner universities.
