There are students who want to study abroad but can't afford standard prices
Traditional agencies represent a small number of schools and focus on students who can pay full catalogue prices. That leaves a massive, untapped segment of motivated learners with real budgets - just not enough for premium rates.
BidandStudy bridges this gap. We work as an agency - just like the agents you already know - but we specialize in connecting your school with this overlooked audience, bringing you incremental enrollments you wouldn't get otherwise.
Millions
of students priced out of language courses abroad
50+
countries with demand for affordable programs
30–40%
average seat vacancy in low-season months
100%
incremental - students who wouldn't come otherwise
Empty chairs have the same fixed cost
as occupied ones
Airlines figured this out decades ago: it's better to sell a seat at a discount than to fly with it empty. The same logic applies to your classrooms. Your teachers are paid, the building is heated, the lights are on - every empty seat is pure lost revenue.
Fill vacant seats
Turn low-occupancy periods into revenue-generating months with students who fill otherwise empty spots.
No cannibalisation
These students would never have enrolled at full price. You're capturing demand that doesn't exist in your current pipeline.
Zero effort
We handle everything: student acquisition, bid management, and communication. You just respond to offers.
A new channel that complements your existing network
Your established agent partners serve the students you already reach. BidandStudy is built to reach a different segment: price-sensitive international students who would not otherwise enroll, across markets where you may have limited visibility today. No overlap is required.
Your existing network
- Long-term relationships with trusted partners
- Focus on full-price, high-intent students
- Strong presence in your established markets
- Your core enrollment channel
BidandStudy
- Reaches price-sensitive students - a distinct segment
- Active where traditional channels are underrepresented (LatAm, Asia, Middle East)
- You choose which markets receive your bids - no conflict with existing partners
- Incremental students who would not otherwise enroll
If you have exclusive partnerships in certain countries, you can exclude those markets from BidandStudy at registration - your existing relationships stay intact.

Reach students in markets where you have no visibility
Many quality schools are well-represented in some regions but virtually unknown in others. Traditional agents have no incentive to expand your reach — they already have their preferred partners.
Through The Student World events and direct outreach, we reach tens of thousands of students every year — with particularly strong access to Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Chile. Latin America is where we lead today; new regions come online through 2026.
The more diverse your student body, the more resilient your business. Start with the markets where you have no visibility today.
Built for schools, by people who understand the industry

Accept, decline, or counter. You never commit to anything you don't want. Full control, always.
Free to join
No registration fees, no monthly charges, no hidden costs. We only succeed when you enroll students.
Our commitment to quality
BidandStudy voluntarily adheres to the FELCA-GAELA Guidelines — the gold standard for ethical international education. We publish, in plain language, what each of the 14 guidelines means in practice for us, what we deliver today, and what is on our roadmap. Schools joining our platform self-declare their own commitments (qualified teachers, academic progress monitoring, police-checked host families for minors) so students enter the match informed.
