About the Project

Inspiration

The idea for SomaVilivyo came from a real problem I experienced. After finishing high school, I struggled to find clear information about universities and scholarships. Many students apply blindly to opportunities they are not eligible for, waste time, or fall into scams. I also saw friends with strong academic results fail to access higher education because they lacked guidance. This inspired me to build a solution that makes the process clearer and more accessible.

What I Learned

Building this project taught me several important lessons. I learned how to validate a problem by speaking with students and collecting feedback. I also learned about product design, user experience, and how digital platforms can solve information gaps in education. Most importantly, I learned that solving real problems requires constant testing, listening to users, and improving the solution step by step.

How I Built the Project

The project started with research and interviews with students to understand their challenges when applying for universities and scholarships. After validating the demand, I designed the platform structure and user flow using design tools.

The platform was then developed as a web application that helps students:

Discover verified scholarships and universities
Match opportunities with their academic profile
Understand their eligibility and chances of success
Organize application documents and preparation steps

The goal is to turn a confusing process into a clear pathway from discovering opportunities to applying successfully.

Challenges I Faced

One major challenge was gathering reliable information about scholarships and universities. Many opportunities online are outdated or misleading. Another challenge was designing a system that is simple enough for students with limited internet access while still being powerful.

As a student founder, balancing development, research, and learning new technical skills was also difficult. However, these challenges helped improve the project and pushed me to focus on building a solution that truly helps students.

Conclusion

SomaVilivyo aims to reduce the barriers that prevent talented students from accessing higher education opportunities. By combining technology, verified information, and guidance, the platform helps students move from confusion to opportunity.
