About Edufindme

Edufindme is an online platform that assists students looking for study abroad options, and helps professionals in the field of education to recruit students and to promote their educational programs. Edufindme processes User Content to match students with educational programs based on their compatibility.

Edufindme is a free service for students. Students do not have to pay for any service offered by Edufindme, which includes all the features offered by Edufindme. However, students may incur costs when applying for programs of institutions or agencies; Edufindme is not responsible for this.

For professionals in the field of education, Edufindme serves as a student recruitment tool, a lead management system, a social network and a Customer-Relationship-Management System.

The use of Edufindme as a social network is free of charge, however, Educational Providers, with the purpose of the professional use of its services, are required to purchase a marketing plan in order to network with students.

The registration, maintenance and the termination of an account are free of charge for any user of Edufindme.

About EDUEXPOS, THE STUDENT WORLD, and OTHER STUDENT FAIRS WE ORGANIZE

The Student Fairs we organize are events where students and their families are invited to attend and meet with International Educational Institutions to learn about their programs.

When students and Educational Institutions register online to attend any of these events, they are automatically creating accounts on Edufindme.com. Students' accounts are free of charge. Educational Institutions get 4 weeks of free service and are then required to subscribe to a marketing package. Students who have registered to attend an event in the past, can register for future events with the same account details and without having to go through the whole registration process again. Users can delete their account at any time.
