About Us Illustration
Craig Fernandes

The average cost of an Ivy League University today is around $80,000 dollars per year. Most people can't afford that ..

Go a little lower down the rankings list, and the average university STILL costs around $50-60K per year. This prices out so many hardworking families around the world who simply cannot afford to send their children to top global universities.

Here at SecureMyScholarship, we don't think that's fair.

We don't think that any student, who's smart, ambitious and aspirational, should be told to give up on his or her dreams simply because they can't afford them. That's not okay with us.

The current system that we have is broken, and we want to fix it.

Our mission at SecureMyScholarship is to connect students with $100 million (yes you read that right) in scholarships, and help change the lives of one hundred thousand students around the world. And we will do whatever it takes to make that happen.

If you want to study and are struggling to pay your tuition - we'll help you. Because that's what we do.


With love,

Craig Fernandes, CEO
