Template:Infobox company GrantMe is a Canadian online education consulting platform founded by Madison Guy in 2018 with its headquarters in Vancouver, Canada. GrantMe is aimed at helping college students win student bursaries, grants and scholarships.[1][2][3][4]
In 2012, Madison Guy graduated from Brookswood Secondary and attended the University of British Columbia on a soccer scholarship.[5] In 2015, Guy led the UBC Thunderbirds to win the U Sports women's soccer championship which result in winning a scholarship that would secure her tuition at Sauder School of Business.[6] But she looked into scholarships to cover her expenses such as housing, books and food, and eventually, she earned $50,000 in scholarships for her last three years of university.[7][8]
Following her graduation in 2017, Guy founded GrantMe to help college students win student bursaries and scholarships.[5] Within a few months of its inception, GrantMe secured $121,800 in scholarships for students and increased to over $3 million by 2020,[9] and $5 million by January 2021 and provided for 2,700 students.[5] For establishing GrantMe, Guy was awarded the 30 Under 30 Award by British Columbia's regional business magazine, BCBusiness in 2020,[10] and was named a Forbes 30 under 30 top young entrepreneurs of 2021.[11]
