StudyFund is a blockchain-powered crowdfunding protocol that provides transparent, raffle-based scholarships to university students. It incentivizes donations through gamification and verifiable smart contracts, ensuring fair distribution while supporting global access to education. By integrating Soulbound NFTs and on-chain academic credentials, StudyFund enhances trust, accountability, and impact tracking in educational funding.
Millions of students face tuition debt and financial barriers in higher education, limiting their potential. Traditional scholarship systems are inefficient, opaque, and underfunded. Donors often lack visibility into fund utilization, reducing trust and engagement. StudyFund solves this by combining blockchain, incentive-driven donations, and smart contract transparency to create a scalable, fair funding model.

Fair Prize Distribution: 35% of funds go to a provably fair raffle, 45% to scholarships, and 20% for growth & sustainability.
Blockchain Transparency: Smart contracts manage funding, ticket allocation, and payouts, ensuring trustless execution.
