👋 hi, i'm neil.

"when i was 16, i couldn't afford the tools to learn how to code."

i wanted to build stuff — but every course i needed was locked behind a paywall. coursera had this scholarship thing. you filled out a few questions, and if they liked your answers, you got full access for free. i applied. i got in. that one decision changed everything for me.

a year later (17), i landed my first tech job. then i dropped out of school (18). moved to singapore at 19. and started building intellecs.ai — an ai-powered workspace to help people like me learn, create, and chase their obsessions.

now, i want to pay it forward.

if you've got the drive but not the budget, this is for you.

this isn't a free trial.
it's a scholarship for the hungry.

you're not just another free user. you're part of the mission.

i know what it feels like to want more but feel stuck. so if you're trying to learn, build, or just figure things out — this scholarship is for you.

these questions help us get to know your story — there are no wrong answers.

every application gets read by me personally — just be honest, be real.
