Idea in Education

Introduction

Providing quality, affordable college application mentorship by university students who understand and empathize with the current competitive application process.


Problem

International and low-income domestic students lack access to college application resources leading to their under-representation at US and UK universities. The currently available support is unaffordable (burdening students before college loans), outdated for the increasingly competitive application process, and does not understand the needs of non-traditional applicants.


Opportunity

We seek to create a marketplace connecting high-school students with university students attending their dream universities. We believe that university students, having recently completed college applications, best understand the current requirements and can sympathize with the students. At a low cost, we aim to support university students without burdening applicants.
