About Edufindme

Edufindme is a free service for students. Students do not have to pay for any service offered by Edufindme, which includes all the features offered by Edufindme. However, students may incur costs when applying for programs of institutions or agencies; Edufindme is not responsible for this.

About EDUEXPOS, THE STUDENT WORLD, and OTHER STUDENT FAIRS WE ORGANIZE
The Student Fairs we organize are events where students and their families are invited to attend and meet with International Educational Institutions to learn about their programs.
When students and Educational Institutions register online to attend any of these events, they are automatically creating accounts on Edufindme.com. Students' accounts are free of charge. Educational Institutions get 4 weeks of free service and are then required to subscribe to a marketing package. Students who have registered to attend an event in the past, can register for future events with the same account details and without having to go through the whole registration process again. Users can delete their account at any time.
