What Students & Families Are Saying
Trusted by lecturers and students across Sri Lankan universities
"I mapped out my entire gap year — volunteering in the spring, an internship in the fall — and the tool caught a scheduling gap between the two I hadn't noticed."
"I recommend this to every student deferring admission. The deferral deadline field keeps it front and center so nobody misses their re-enrollment window."
"Simple and clear. We used the budget bar to see the total cost of my daughter's gap year plans before committing to any programs."
"The Excel export was handy for sharing my plan with my parents and getting their sign-off on the budget before I booked anything."
