Who are E-Bursum?
E-Bursum is a platform that matches students looking for scholarships with funders that have scholarships to offer students. We think that education is of the highest importance for all generations and should be accessible to everyone. In this context, our mission as E-Bursum is to make education more efficient, accessible and fair by reducing the inequality of opportunity to the minimum.
We have three main solutions. The Scholarship Management System is a system in which scholarship holders can receive and evaluate applicants, prepare application forms, collect documents, carry out authenticity checks, and manage current scholarship and achievement processes digitally. With the solutions brought by E-Bursum, grantors are saving time and material resources, and increasing productivity. These savings can be used as a capacity development opportunity.
We care that students are not only supported financially but also non-financially such as personal development. So we created an Online Mentoring System which gives opportunity to make online mentoring sessions through our platform. Social Impact Measurement is designed to measure changes in students’ lives and to improve the social benefit created as a result of these measurements.
