Skolafund is a web platform for students, especially the ones in need, to crowdfund their scholarships for higher education. Our mission is to make higher education affordable and accessible to those who qualify. We believe that no one should be deprived of quality education just because they cannot afford it.
Skolafund first went online in April 2015 with an Alpha Website. The Alpha lasted till August 2015. Throughout this four months, our platform raised near RM 25,000 for 6 students, funded by 125 members of the community. Seeing the strong support and encouragement, we decided to enhance the website further, to make it more user-friendly, with an infrastructure that would be able to support more scholarship campaigns. Hence, this Beta version.
We have a big vision. We aspire to be the biggest higher education financing platform in Asia by providing better alternatives for students to finance their higher education. Crowdfunding is just the first step for us. We have big plans. Moving forward, we aim to introduce more solutions for students to benefit from to fund their higher education. To make this happen, we hope to get your continuous support.
We aim to give all undergraduates a fair chance to attain higher education by giving them access to various sources of funding available out there.
