Unified

Tracked
Students can monitor deadlines and application status
Mobile

Context
The setting
African students leave funding on the table because scholarships are posted across websites, social channels, and noticeboards with no central index. Kodo Scholarship set out to close that gap with a platform that aggregates, verifies, and tracks opportunities.
Challenge
What we had to solve
- Scholarship information scattered across dozens of sources with no standard format
- Students missing deadlines because reminders live in notebooks or memory
- Application requirements varying wildly, making it hard to prioritise effort
- Most traffic on mobile devices with limited data budgets
