EduBridge AI Web Platform Development

Project Description – EduBridge AI

We are building EduBridge AI, a web-based AI platform designed to help first-generation and low-income international students find realistic scholarship and university opportunities in the United States.

The platform should function as an AI-powered study-abroad advisor that:

Collects structured student profile data (GPA, country, income level, language level, intended major, etc.).

Matches students with universities and scholarships based on eligibility criteria.

Provides personalized recommendations and step-by-step application roadmaps.

Explains admissions, financial aid, and visa processes in simple language.

Offers guidance on language preparation, cost estimation, work eligibility, and life preparation.
