At Project EduAccess - India, we are committed to the goal of empowering learners from marginalised and historically disadvantaged communities in India. We do this by working towards increasing their representation in higher education and creating opportunities for their personal and professional development.

 

In 2022, we launched a large-scale graduate mentorship programme to support learners from marginalised groups with their applications to universities and scholarship bodies for postgraduate study. Over the last two years, we have mentored 1000+ mentees through a network of 400+ expert mentors. Our mentees have made it to top universities in the world, including University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Harvard University, Yale University,  Columbia University, University of Melbourne, New York University, SOAS University of London, London School of Economics and Political Science, University College London, and John Hopkins University, among others. They have also won prestigious fully-funded scholarships like the Rhodes Scholarship, Chevening Scholarship, Commonwealth Shared Scholarship, Clarendon Scholarship, Weidenfeld-Hoffmann Scholarship, Felix Scholarship, Inlaks Scholarship, Charles Wallace India Trust Scholarship, Oxford-India Centre for Sustainable Development Scholarship, among others.

 

Riding on this momentum, we are launching the graduate mentorship programme again, for a third year. We are also planning to offer long-term and research-based mentoring - more on this below!
