Meet the Team

Hi, I'm Riddhi Kohli! I'm a sophomore, graduating in 2028. I came up with Scholarship Smart while applying to various scholarships myself. I often found that, after creating accounts on multiple websites, I was disheartened to learn that many scholarships were only open to U.S. citizens. I wanted to create a platform to help students like me navigate this process more easily. Our goal at Scholarship Smart is to make the process of finding scholarships less stressful for students across the globe. Scholarship Smart organizes scholarships clearly, separating them into different tabs so you can stay on top of deadlines and apply to the opportunities that fit your eligibility. I oversee all aspects of Scholarship Smart, from website development to scholarship curation and team coordination.
