Inspiration
When we thought about the after affects of the Pandemic, and even during normal times, we realized that getting a student loan is very hard for low income families. We wanted to solve this and allow everyone to be able to go to college.
What it does
It brings together investors who want to help the needy and students in need of money for college.
How we built it
We used Flask, Html, Css, Javascript, Python, MongoDB, and Heroku to build this
Challenges we ran into
We were having trouble thinking of a fair way to disperse the money to everyone applying for loans, until we found the perfect solution by making an algorithm that dispereses the money evenly and fairly.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We made a site that will help millions of students every year. We are proud of making a functional application that is almost ready to be deployed and used by people.
What's next for HopeVEST
We want to improve and expand our website to have more pages. we also want to add more styling and get it fully ready to be launched into the world so people can actually use the application/website.
