Hi Product Hunt 👋 My name is Veronica, I was born and raised in Uzbekistan. For 18 years I have not been outside of my home country, except in neighboring Kazakhstan. My life changed in one instant when I won a $320,000 scholarship to pursue my Bachelor’s Degree at NYU Abu Dhabi, allowing me to study in Abu Dhabi, New York, Sydney, and Shanghai entirely for free. Crazy? I thought so too. But it was also crazy that I was the only student from Uzbekistan in my cohort of 300+ people. 🚫 Problem Forbes 2021 confirmed that more than $100 million USD in scholarship money goes unclaimed every year. Opportunity is out there, but what about the talent? Talent is also there, but it’s struggling to figure out how to reach for such opportunities. Where do I find scholarships? How do I choose the right university? What’s it like to be in a foreign country? What are my post-grad options? This information is nowhere to be found, or at best it’s scattered around various forums. In the worst case, students are asked to pay thousands of $$$ by scam agencies. ✅ Solution Meet Borderless — a community-built database of opportunities to study abroad. - Database of fully-funded scholarships - Relatable stories with genuine advice from students who made it - Transparent information: visas, eligibility, deadlines, etc - Post-graduate opportunities - A diverse and global community of students and alumni 🚀 Vision Borderless is on a mission to make the world, well, border-less. We want to create a world where everyone can realize their dreams regardless of where they come from. Where a university is chosen out of passion and not financial struggle or immigration policies. If you made it this far, I know you believe in such a world too! If you have feedback or thoughts about Borderless, we would love to hear about them in the comments!

Excited to launch for the first time on Product Hunt! I'm Shun, and I was born and raised in Japan. I didn't like the idea of spending my whole life in a small country of Japan, and decided to go out for university. I ended up finding an amazing university in Abu Dhabi (NYU Abu Dhabi), and 4 years of experience there completely changed the way I think about where I can be in the world. The transition was not easy though, as no one from my close circle had done anything like that. We worked hard for the last 6 months to make it easier for everyone, and I'm excited to finally share what we've been building! It took longer than we wanted, from figuring out what to build, to learning how to code... (I did the coding part since both of us only knew how to make hardware products 😅😅) Hopefully some of you guys will find it useful, and change your life the way I did. If you've had similar experiences as we did, we're looking forward to reading about it on Borderless😆

Congrats on the launch, I hope this helps lower socioeconomic groups bridge the international achievement gap, and give each individual the opportunity they deserve to receive a proper education.

Congrats on the launch! I can see how this can be very valuable for people looking for opportunities to study abroad and change their life for the better.

Great idea! I hope it works out!

kudos on the product launch 🚀, it will be useful to everyone looking for the perfect opportunity. It would serve as a bridge to close the gap because I have observed numerous pupils trying to obtain the proper knowledge. Wishing you luck and looking forward to hearing about all your successes

#1 product of the day! Congrats. Hoping this opens opportunities around the world for a more wide-ranging pool of candidates! Some AI PAS copywriting written by Wordhero about this product...Seems spot on: Pain: You want to study abroad but don’t know how to find opportunities, and you don’t have the money. Agitate: Opportunities are hidden in different places, and it’s hard to find them all. Solution: Borderless is a community-built platform where anyone can discover fully-funded opportunities to study abroad. It features transparent stories, reviews, and ratings from other students who have been there before.

If you were from a country with extremely bad education and government like mine - Nigeria, you would know how indeed priceless this product is😭❤️

I would’ve loved to have a platform like this back when I was applying to universities in the US! Would be curious to find out whether you’re planning on partnering or collaborating with universities’ own outreach efforts.

Congratulations! This is such a great idea and I’m sure it will be able to bring a lot of positives to all those who are on a path to find the right opportunities. As someone who has personally struggled to find relevant information when it comes to applications, immigration policies, personal stories regarding the institutions I’m interested in, this is surely going to be immensely helpful! Go, go, go!

I wish I had something like that when I was applying to university, I spent literally months of my life going through the rabbit holes of the internet tryinh to find opportunities to help finance my education sinxe I stufent loan was almost impossible. And it was one of the modt nerve wrecking hectic experiences I ever had to go through. I never imagined how insanely complicated and difficult it is for international students who dont come from money to able to study abroad, I am glad to see someone finally going after this. It's about damn time!

Congrats on the launch - this is awesome! In addition to the information about logistics/admission processes, do you think a future goal would be creating more content about what life is like after securing admissions/job offers? Maybe even hosting experiences for Borderless members to connect IRL? Seems like you'll have a ton of great opportunities for community building as you expand!

Hi, congratulations on the launch. my suggestion is to involve the immigration consultants in this business! upvoted and now following you for more updates n products

Congrats on the launch and on your work, so needed! 🙌 🙏 While I was lucky to get an incredible scholarship for my undergrad I wish something like borderless existed when I was researching opportunities (even after months of researching I only found 1-2 full scholarships). Best of luck and can't wait to see all the success stories that will emerge thanks to Borderless!

Thank you for sharing your story, Veronica! It's truly inspiring and gives hope to so many people out there who are struggling to figure out how to reach for such opportunities. I'm glad that Borderless is providing a much-needed service to help connect people with these amazing opportunities. Keep up the great work! 🙂

This is awesome! Congratulations on the launch!

This is an excellent idea! I've seen so many students extremely overwhelmed by the university selection and application procedures which hardly leaves them time to research about scholarships. Many students give up on their dream universities because they are not able to afford them. I'm sure your platform will serve to become a great medium for such students so that they can achieve their dreams. I'll sign up and check out the product soon! Congratulations on the launch!

What a great product! I hope most of the students will find this helpful. Will definitely share it with my friends and any other students willing to study abroad.

Looks amazing! thanks for sharing such important information!

Congrats on being #1 product of the day!
