ApplicAid
ApplicAid is a multi-award-winning social start-up that promotes educational justice worldwide. We help people from educationally disadvantaged groups (e.g. migrant background; low socio-economic status; non-academic parents; refugees) during the application process for all possible forms of scholarship/funding programmes in order to increase their chances of being admitted and at the same time increase the number of these group of people in such institutions. Our aim is to help people who need assistance in order to realise their full potential and increase their social impact, because admission to such support bodies leaves more time for social commitment and self-development. Through this we support the future generation of young changemakers and leaders, which facilitates a sustainable change in society.
