ABOUT · MISSION
The education sector should be open, and easy to find your way around.
The Blueprint Project started as one student's search for things worth applying to. It's now a free, hand-researched map of internships, competitions, scholarships, and research programs for high schoolers, verified by hand, tracked by deadline, and free to everyone.

THE BLUEPRINT PROMISE
No hidden agenda
Three promises we make to every student who uses Blueprint.
Free, forever
No paywalls, no premium tier, no access fee. Every program listed is free to apply to and free to browse.
- No premium tier, no paywall
- Free to browse, free to apply
- Student-built, not VC-funded
Unbiased algorithms
No paid placements, no sponsor bias, no boosted listings. Programs rank on fit and deadline, nothing else.
- No sponsored or boosted listings
- Results ranked by fit, not revenue
- Every listing treated the same
100% data privacy
No account required to browse, and nothing is sold or shared. When tracking arrives, it stays yours.
- No account needed to search
- Nothing sold or shared, ever
- Your data stays yours
Our community
The idea came up while the three of us were sitting together complaining about program hunting. We each run a part of it.
Ridwan Ahmed
12th grade · New York, NY
Got tired of digging through a bunch of tabs just to find one program, so he started building Blueprint. Then he brought in two friends. Checks the links, keeps the listings honest, and writes the code.
Ethan Troche
12th grade · New York, NY
Thought of the idea alongside Ridwan and helped get it running. Handles the pipeline: partners, corrections, and the accuracy checks on every listing.
Shadman Rahman
12th grade · New York, NY
Also thought of the idea, back when all three of us kept coming up empty searching for programs. Runs social media and outreach: makes the posts, connects with counselors and orgs, and grows the page.
Brandon Villa
12th grade · New York, NY
Works with Ethan on partner outreach and owns the visual identity: social graphics, one-pagers, and brand assets.
Robert O'Sullivan
12th grade · New York, NY
Leads the school ambassador program and keeps the coordinators working together.
Almuhimin Chowdhury
12th grade · Buffalo, NY
Founded a Blueprint chapter at Cheektowaga Central High School in Buffalo and recruits and onboards new student ambassadors.
