Donate & Help Support Students

If you’ve landed on this page, you probably know me from TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube, where I break down fully funded programs, need-blind admissions, community college transfer pathways, and F-1 visa navigation for international and first-generation students.

A bit about me if you don’t: I grew up in Volksrust, South Africa. I matriculated with a bachelor’s pass and was rejected by every South African university I applied to. I started at a community college in Texas, transferred to the University of Rochester on a full scholarship, earned a master’s in Computer Science at Penn, and I’m now completing a master's at Harvard. None of that happened because I was exceptional. It happened because someone finally told me the information existed.

That’s the whole point of what I do. The barrier between talented students and funded education isn’t ability. It’s information. So I’ve spent years making all of it free: the videos, the scholarship lists, the courses that over 100,000 people have taken, the DMs I answer one by one.

Free content still costs something to make. Research, filming, editing, keeping the courses updated as programs change, and the hours I spend replying to students who have no one else to ask. Right now that’s all funded by my own time and money.

Your support here lets me do more of it. More guides, more countries covered, faster answers, and fewer compromises.

What stays the same

Everything. I’m not putting the useful information behind a paywall. The student in Lagos or Kampala or Dhaka who can’t afford a dollar still gets the same access as everyone else. That’s non-negotiable. What you get is the knowledge that you helped the next student get where you got. And if that’s not enough, I’ll find ways to thank you properly as this grows.

If you can’t give

Don’t feel bad for a second. Share the videos. Tell a younger cousin. Tag a friend who’s still stuck. That does as much as any donation.

Thank you for believing in this.
