The PA mentoring experience of the future – designed for students in Africa

Are you thinking about studying at a top university in the US, UK or EU, but are not sure you can do it? PA Africa is building a guide to the universities that fund you and how to get there – delivered 1 to 1 by a successful African student.

Take time to work on your application before sending it to us. If you will need a full scholarship for undergraduate study, we recommend US universities. Most American and international students receive one of thousands of scholarships each year.

What is Project Access Africa?

We link bright high school students from a disadvantaged background with mentors studying the subject they want to apply for at university in the USA, UK and EU. Mentors provide a structured programme with the information, motivation and financial knowhow needed to reach university overseas.​

Know the journey

Are you an African studying at a top university in the US, UK or EU? ​
We want to make that the transition accessible to all. Your experience of the application, access to funding and links to other students could inform our project. ​

Our programme for your students

Do you want to make a difference in your students’ lives and help them apply to top universities overseas? Talk to us to see if they could join our projects in the future. ​

Corporate Partners

Do you believe in increasing social mobility and giving African high school students the chance to study at a top university overseas? We’d love to partner with you, organize events together for our network of mentors and mentees, and work with you to improve access to higher education.​

 
 
 

We are also looking for mentors!

Our expansion to Africa creates 1-to-1 Project Access mentorship designed. We are looking for organizations to partner with us, and any current university students from Africa to become mentors in late 2022 as we launch our expansion.

Please reach out to us, we would be delighted to hear from you!
