The challenge
Micro-Scholarship Engine
Small donations add up, but they rarely arrive as the predictable funding a student needs to stay enrolled. Without clear records, donors lose confidence and schools cannot plan around the support.
Our approach
Make it work. Then make it last.
- Traceable disbursements. Every payment can be followed end to end, from donor to recipient.
- Recurring pools. Donors fund monthly pools instead of one-off gifts, making scholarships predictable.
- Enrollment checks. Schools verify recipient enrollment before each disbursement.
- No surprises. Automated receipts, monthly statements, clear eligibility rules and an appeals process.
What success means
Outcomes over features.
