Students on Board

The people behind the applications

Every form we help file is someone's next four years. Here's a snapshot of who's on their way this season — where they're headed, what they're studying, and what it took to get there.

248 students are currently studying abroad through David Conglomerate — up from last year, and still counting.

How we got here

From first message to move-in day

Every student on this page passed through the same four stages. Most of the work — and most of the waiting — happens between the first two.

How they funded it

More than half didn't pay full tuition

Scholarship paperwork is often the hardest part of the whole process — and the part most worth getting right.

Where they're headed

Five countries, one shared decision

Every student's reasons are different — cost, language, a specific program, a city they'd seen in photos. Here's how this year's cohort is spread out.

A few of this year's students

Six stories, six very different paths

Sample entries below — replace with real students once you're ready to feature them (with their permission).

AD

Amara D.

Nigeria → Tianjin, China

B.Eng. Mechanical Engineering

I'd never filled out an application in another language before. Having someone check every page before it went in made the difference.

RK

Rian K.

Indonesia → Fukuoka, Japan

M.A. Linguistics

The scholarship paperwork alone was longer than my thesis proposal. Glad I didn't have to figure out the deadlines on my own.

MN

Mei N.

South Sudan → Seoul, South Korea

B.A. International Business

I had three universities in mind and no idea how to choose. Talking it through narrowed it to the right one fast.

TO

Tomiwa O.

Nigeria → Vancouver, Canada

B.Sc. Computer Science

Every question I asked got a real answer, not a form letter. That's what made me trust the process.

SP

Siti P.

Indonesia → Surabaya exchange, then Beijing

M.Sc. Public Health

I was applying from a small town with patchy internet. They worked around that instead of around me.

DL

Deng L.

South Sudan → Guangzhou, China

B.Eng. Civil Engineering

My offer letter is framed. I still check my email out of habit, half-expecting more paperwork.
