Project Access International (previously Project Access)
Unlocking top universities for less privileged students.
Problem
Top universities have a highly significant role in shaping our global leadership – from MPs to top academics to entrepreneurs – however, access to top universities today is extremely unequal. Students from less privileged backgrounds lack role models that can inspire them to pursue their academic potential, they lack the application resources needed to write competitive applications, and they lack proper guidance on enrolling and succeeding at university.
Solution
We’ve created a peer-to-peer mentorship program matching students from less privileged backgrounds with a mentor from their own country studying for their dream degree at their dream university, who can act as both a role model and an application expert. Our program is highly scaleable thanks to a combination of tech and an army of impact-minded volunteers.
