TEduChain: A Platform for Crowdsourcing Tertiary Education Fund using Blockchain Technology

Blockchain is an emerging technology framework for creating and storing transaction in distributed ledgers with a high degree of security and reliability. In this paper we present a blockchain-based platform to create and store contracts in between students and their higher education sponsors. The sponsorship might be in any form, such as scholarship, donation or loan. The fund will be arranged and managed by a group of competitive agents (Fundraisers) who will hold the distributed ledgers and act as miners in the blockchain network
