1. Tips on Your Profile Your profile tells something about you to other users on our portal. Therefore, it is important to keep it up-to-date and comprehensive. The more info you provide, the more users will contact you. So, put everything in: what you have studied, what you are looking for, who you would like to meet, what and where you would like to study etc. Most users are looking for the following info in your profile: Subject, Country, City, University. And many users even have contacted us and asked why people do not tell others where they are from. Therefore, we have made these fields mandatory for new registrations. So, our recommendation is: check your profile and make sure it is up-to-date, comprehensive and tells other users where in the world you are from. 2. Advertise Scholarships for Free Academics look for places to advertise scholarships. The places they have found so far charge them for scholarship advertising. We think it is not right. The money can be spent better. So, we decided to announce free scholarship advertising on our portal. Every academic with approved qualification can now advertise their scholarships for free. Right here. We put your scholarships in our scholarships database which can be browsed by all our users. Reach the best students for free! There is not much in our scholarships database at the moment. Thus, for students, it is probably not the right time to browse it yet. However, we are sure it will fill up quickly (it is free to advertise). So, it is worth coming back and checking for scholarships every now and then. 3.
