The Scholarship Whizz aims to expand into the Canadian market by establishing partnerships with high schools, colleges, and post-secondary institutions. The goal is to identify institutions that can benefit from our expertise in scholarship and funding assistance, uncover gaps in their current offerings, and propose tailored solutions.
