The service is open to students and volunteers across the globe, and
is offering US$50 to the first 50 successful campaigns over $800 to
commemorate the launch. Developers of the crowd funding site expressed
that knowing the financial issues faced by students to purse an
international degree that is rewarding they wanted to ease the
difficulty. Aside from benefiting the individual user, they also aim at
promoting the health of the industry overall.
In creating a campaign, a student lists the programme they plan to
participate in, and sets a start and end date and goal amount. Students
can raise money for things like air fare, course costs and visa fees as
well as upload their own photo or video. Donations are made and received
via PayPal and Fundmytravel.com takes a 5% commission.
The organizers are also working towards building partnerships with
international education institutions and volunteer providers who can
provide information for inclusion in campaigns directly. The partners
would enjoy branding opportunities.
