Due to the success of, and demand for, eScholarship web-based scholarship management software, eInternet has dedicated an entire branch of-the company exclusively to this highly specialized work.  We understand the specific needs of scholarship foundations and tuition granting programs, having built eScholarship based on the best practices of the very first Promise program, the Kalamazoo Promise. Through our work with Kalamazoo, and other scholarship programs, we have designed and implemented web-based software that now serves as the architectural framework for complete scholarship administration and automation.

Brian Balow- CEO

Brian brings over 25 years of leadership experience to his role as CEO of eInternet Design.  eInternet Design was born out of Brian’s desire to build web-based software for his own business.  Unhappy with the “one size fits all” software solutions available, Brian formed a team of developers who could build highly specialized software specific to his actual organizational needs.  As a result of the web-based solutions created, Brian’s business realized a significant decrease in the time consuming, tedious tasks once required of key personnel.  Freeing up time,resources, and ultimately improving cash flow back into his business, Brian decided to form a web development company that could offer these same solutions to other businesses and organizations.  For over 15 years now, eInternet has been successfully designing, creating, and implementing web-based solutions for businesses.
