Meet the Founder

Hello Family-

Welcome to BridgeVision International — and thank you for taking the first step toward a transformational academic journey.

My name is Yaw Dapaa, and I founded this platform with a clear mission: to help students like you unlock global opportunities, gain access to world-class education, and build lives of impact — no matter where you start.

🌍 From Ghana to the World

I wasn’t always on the path to success. My academic journey began with failure, rejection, and overwhelming odds. In fact, I once ranked last in my school in Ghana, refused a visa by the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. I know what it feels like to doubt yourself, to face rejection, and to wonder if your dreams are even possible. But I also know what it means to rise.

Through persistence, mentorship, and faith, I became the only First-Class graduate in my Polytechnic program, a three-time U.S. Navy Honor Graduate, and later earned four master’s degrees in Cybersecurity, International Affairs, Information Systems, and an MBA.

I’ve worked on some of the most complex defense and space programs in the U.S., served in the Navy as a Hospital Corpsman and an Information Warfare Officer, led cybersecurity teams for defense intelligence and national security systems — and mentored hundreds of students and professionals worldwide.

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

🎓 Why I Founded BridgeVision

BridgeVision is more than a consultancy — it’s A CALLING. I created this platform to bridge the gap between talent and opportunity, especially for students across Africa and the diaspora.

I have lived the challenges of applying for schools abroad, visa rejections by three (3) countries, sleeping on hard-wood couch in a basement, adapting to new systems, and proving myself in unfamiliar spaces.

This is why I now help others:

Apply successfully to schools across the globe, especially in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia
Win scholarships and prepare for visa interviews
Build the confidence to thrive, not just survive, in global classrooms
Find mentors, networks, and resources to support their journey

🌟 What You’ll Get With Me

When you work with BridgeVision, you don’t just get application support — you get a coach, an advocate, and someone who believes in your potential even before the world sees it. My team and I have a knack for seeing talent, vision and focus where others miss it.
