Since its launch in November 2021, SecureMyScholarship has been on a mission to democratize education. Its unique approach connects students with guaranteed fee waivers and scholarships at prestigious universities in Dubai, the USA, and the UK.

The company have listed 414 universities on its platform, including almost all private universities in the UAE, over 220 in the USA, and over 150 in the UK.

Speaking about the demand for the startup’s services, Craig Fernandes, Co-founder and CEO of SecureMyScholarship, said:

Our platform is 100% free for students applying for scholarships in UAE, and for students applying for scholarships in the USA and UK, we charge a nominal one-time subscription fee of $50. Aside from scholarship support, our team helps students with loan applications, visa applications, and university application submissions.

The universities themselves fund the majority of scholarships listed on the platform. SecureMyScholarship also provides students with unique, promotional scholarships that are offered to students throughout the calendar year. In some cases where the university is not offering a scholarship, the platform will fund it.
