Access isn’t just a mission. It’s a measurable outcome. Our results show how far students can go when they’re not left to figure it out alone.
Every university offer begins with someone who dared to believe in themselves, or had someone else believe in them first. Here’s what our impact looked like in 2023:
Face Structural Underrepresentation
Are From Immigrant Backgrounds
Come from Remote or Rural Areas
Are First-Generation Students
Come a Low-Income Household
Identify as an Ethnic Minority Group
Our model is grounded on research and real-world feedback. From understanding structural barriers to refining mentorship strategies, we use data to drive smarter, more equitable access.

Talent is everywhere, but access isn’t. This paper maps out how Project Access helps students from underrepresented backgrounds unlock top university places. It outlines the barriers they face, our impact model, and why mentorship works.
02
This report shares what we achieved last year: from 1:1 mentoring to local bootcamps and bold new programmes. We spotlight student stories, data-driven outcomes, and our journey toward global equity in admissions.

Grades don’t translate one-to-one across countries. This report explains how scores work across education systems and what they actually signal. It also introduces contextual indicators to help universities identify underrepresented students fairly.

Daniella signed up to Project Access and was soon paired with her mentor, Taran. With his guidance, what once felt out of reach, studying law at LSE, started to feel possible.
“Project Access was the bridge between my aspirations and reality, studying law at LSE. With my mentor Taran’s support, I’ve achieved more than I imagined, and I’m forever grateful.”
Every donation fuels mentoring, resources, and support for students who might otherwise be left behind. Together, we’re opening doors that should never have been closed.
We’re on a mission to flip the script on who gets through the gates of the world’s top universities, and how they get there.
Whether you’re a student, mentor, or partner.
We’d love to hear from you and make things happen.
