What is Project Access?

We’re a non-profit organisation believing in fair access to top universities. That’s why we’ve created a completely free program for students from less privileged backgrounds to apply for both undergraduate and graduate programs.

At the core of the programs is 1-1 mentorship, matching you with a mentor who studies your dream degree at your dream university. Alongside the mentorship, you will join an awesome community of applicants from around the world and get access to the best content and webinars that are out there.

So, what are you waiting for?

Learning from the experiences of my mentors made me feel more confident in my application. The amount of support I received exceeded my expectations and contributed to my success.

My mentor gave really thought-provoking feedback on my Common Application essay and also gave first-hand insight into US college life from the perspective of an international student. A big thank you to Project Access!

When I decided I wanted to study at a university in the US, the idea seemed like a distant dream. My mentor had already been through the same process as me, so she knew exactly how to help me build an excellent application.

My mentors offered me invaluable insight throughout the application process. Applying for a prestigious university means you end up doubting yourself a lot, but my mentors were able to support me both academically and emotionally.

Project Access and my mentor encouraged me during the process and made it possible for me to go all the way with my application. When I submitted my application, I felt 100% more confident.

My Project Access mentor helped me through the whole process. They gave me advice on what to think about when choosing a university, meeting deadlines, as well as writing my application – now I have 3 different offers from some of the best universities in the world!
