Ally – your buddy for scholarships
Ally 🤖 is an assistant that helps prospective students find the right funding opportunities 💵🛫🎓, thereby increasing your chances of success. Ally can search the internet or our database of up to 1,000 scholarships to get the funding you need, provide admission and application guidance, or even point you to where to start.
Why did I build Ally? Frequently, I receive academic funding questions from in and outside my network from mostly aspiring graduate students. So, I decided to build Ally to enable more people to find the scholarship they need to pursue study abroad opportunities.
