About Buddy4Study
A large segment of India’s potential workforce is unemployable. With a 76.04% literacy rate and an increasing number of dropouts failing to enrol or complete any form of higher education, the situation is worrying. Financial constraints and a lack of know-how about education funding schemes are some of the key contributors to this effect.
Buddy4Study, since 2011, has been endeavouring to bridge the gap between education fund seekers and education funding opportunities. As India’s largest education funding portal, we have helped more than 17+ lakh students by connecting them with the right funding opportunities. Backed by its robust search engine, it is the only platform in the country that allows both seekers and education funding providers to access curated information across the globe.
We are India’s largest education funding platform with the vision to make quality education accessible for all. A brainchild of IIT, IIM, and BITS Pilani alumni, Buddy4Study aggregates global education funding information.
We do provide easy access to education funding opportunities like scholarships, education loans, Fellowships, Grants, etc., with end-to-end application support to seekers and end-to-end management and monitoring for fund providers.
