Who is eligible to apply for the Graduate Program?

The Graduate Program is open to motivated students applying for Master’s degrees at top universities worldwide who face structural barriers such as limited guidance, financial challenges, or under-resourced backgrounds. You can apply up to two years before your anticipated enrollment.

We recommend applying at least six months before your application deadlines so you have plenty of time for mentorship and preparation.

We pair you with mentors who have completed or are currently enrolled in the same or a closely related Master’s program, ensuring relevant and personalized support.

Mentors provide guidance on choosing the right course, reviewing application essays, preparingfor interviews, exploring funding options, and sharing insights about graduate life. They support andadvise but won’t write your essays for you.

Yes! Your mentor can help you explore scholarships, grants, and other funding opportunities, but please note mentors may have limited knowledge here. We offer comprehensive resources to support your funding applications.

Yes, deadlines vary by university and program but typically range from November of the year before you plan to enroll through June. Some programs have rolling deadlines. We’ll help you keep track of key dates.

Yes, thanks to our donors and partners, volunteers, and mentors donating their time, the program is completely free.

 Graduate applications focus on Master’s-level requirements, including different essay formats and greater emphasis on your CV and career goals. Funding applications also become more central.

The program is designed specifically for Master’s applications. We don’t provide support for PhD
applications as they involve a very different process and scope of work.

Matching typically happens within four weeks after your application is accepted.
