Aspirant Wave
A study-abroad platform for finding universities, scholarships and education loans.
A study-abroad platform that helps students find the right university, scholarship and loan.
What it is
Aspirant Wave is a study-abroad consultancy. Its platform lets students explore universities by country, level and discipline, take a Discover Yourself assessment, and apply for the Wave Scholars programme or PayWave education loans.
I built the whole platform: the Next.js site, the Strapi CMS the team manages content in, and the AWS infrastructure and deploy pipeline it runs on.
