AidWaive - Automating the financial aid process

AidWaive is a fully bootstrapped fintech and edtech platform helping students and families better navigate college financial aid. Unlike static guides or basic calculators, AidWaive uses AI-powered tools to make financial aid forms, deadlines, and requirements easier to understand. We’re starting with FAFSA and CSS Profile support, with the goal of reducing confusion, saving families time, and helping more students access the aid they need.
