Problem Statement

The platform addresses the main problem of making educational opportunities more accessible for students. EducaLink doesn't just streamline the college application process—it bridges the gap for students who lack the financial resources to apply to their dream colleges. By providing tools to identify scholarships, grants, and cost-effective solutions, Educalink helps students save time and money, ensuring no opportunity is out of reach.
