SchoolApply startup uses AI to drive access to education

A mother was on the phone, crying. She could not contain her gratitude: her son had just been accepted to university thanks, in part, to a new startup called SchoolApply. "We really want to open up the world for students," says Daniel Bjarne, CEO and Co-Founder of SchoolApply, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) and search functionality to help students from anywhere in the world connect with educational programs abroad that best match their needs and potential. Demand for such a service is growing fast. By 2025, some eight million students are expected to have to travel to other countries to study.
