I am making it happen!

Are you unhappy with the fact that so many people are left behind because they don’t have access to more educational opportunities?

In many countries, only 1% of students can go to university due to the lack of education infrastructure, while in others universities struggle to fill their seats. Moreover, every year hundreds of millions of dollars of scholarships available around the world go unclaimed – most likely because people who need it never get to know money is available for them to achieve their goals. Everyone loses out, because the advances in medicine, science and all fields of knowledge that those students could have created will never see the light.

GlobalCampus wants to change this reality. We want to enable a free, global flow of information between students, universities and organizations – so that students can have the maximum opportunity to develop their talents, regardless of where they were born or how connected their family is.

Do you want to see it happen too? Become a GlobalCampus Ambassador and let’s work together to connect all students with global opportunities!

Type “international scholarships” into Google. You should get about 15 million results.

If you’re a future international student, how do you find the right scholarship for study in a specific university program? How do you sort through the information to know which scholarship is right for you? If you’re a university administrator, how do you get your international scholarships to the right students? How do you get your scholarship and institution seen in a Google sea of scholarship listings?

At our second NAFSA this week we’ve been chatting non-stop at the GlobalCampus booth, showing off our international talent and telling universities and colleges all about our unique community. We’ve talked to university and college staff representing institutions from 6 continents, heard about their detailed plans to draw talent to their institutions, and the challenges they face in a time of budget cuts and reduced staff. And we’ve been inviting all of them to participate in our global community.

Here’s what universities are discovering at booth #436:

At GlobalCampus we’re committed to giving future international students access to a variety of international opportunities. Whether these opportunities are the ability to be scouted by universities abroad, international scholarships, or information to help prepare students for the international student experience, we aim to help future international students succeed in their educational pursuits.

It’s all happening here and at a fast pace. We have been and are incredibly busy with developing the beta version of the site further by fine-tuning and optimising a number of existing and new features on the site. It takes a lot of work to be the best but the rewards the site will give to us all will make it well worth it!

I founded this company to help universities use digital communication strategies more effectively. I noticed that their own websites were fairly one-dimensional, often confusing the intranet with the internet. Whilst student numbers had expanded over 20 years from elite to a mass market, university communication strategies remained overly formal. Global Campus initially planned to deliver television exposure of universities in the UK.

For the majority of my working life I have been involved in youth engagement in one form or another. My career has spanned selling nights out, music and films, mainly to youth-based audiences. When I first met the founders of UCTV, I soon discovered that the focus of this project was far more pioneering than some of the past projects I'd worked on and promised to be very rewarding.
