"We want people who come to us with a modest background to be eager to win"

In the world there are many charitable foundations that provide assistance to prospective students, scientists, in obtaining grants for continuing education or their work.

But in order to receive such a grant, you must first enter a prestigious university.

And if there are young people who, usually with the help of their parents, can study in an expensive educational institution, what can do many talented children who generate really unique ideas, but because of a lack of money they can not study at the university?

You tell me, go to the grant. But universities allocate the minimum number of such grants, and discounts provide only units, because the university is also a commercial enterprise and it needs to earn money, at least to pay salaries to teachers.

Seeking help from the charitable foundation is also a good decision, but the choice among the many candidates in such a fund depends on the subjective opinion of its leadership.

In order to help potential students who do not have the means to pay for tuition, we suggest that they publish their author's works and achievements in the field of science, IT, creativity and sports on the United Minds platform.

The most talented works will be promoted by United Minds on a special rating, the level of which will be determined by investors by voting.

The higher the rating of a young man who has published his talented and unique work, the more votes he has, the higher his chances to get investments from United Minds and investors to pay for training.

Thus, investors at an early stage will be able to identify potential geniuses who will receive material support from them.
