mentors
We are home to a team of expert mentors, comprising of individuals who have pursued or are currently pursuing or have received offers to pursue their higher education from HEIs across the world. They come from diverse disciplinary backgrounds and universities and have benefitted from diverse funding, internship, and research avenues. It is this diversity and experience that they bring to the table.
More importantly, many of our mentors themselves belong to marginalised communities in South Asia. Having themselves navigated access barriers in their higher education journey, they understand the challenges that lie ahead for our mentees best and are well-placed to provide meaningful advice.
mentorship programme 2022-23
Our 2022-23 Mentorship Programme focuses exclusively on improving access to postgraduate study at higher education institutions in the United Kingdom (UK). Therefore, our mentors for 2022-23 are mostly individuals who have pursued or are currently pursuing or have received offers to pursue postgraduate degrees at universities and colleges in the UK.

We could not run this programme without the generous and dedicated support of volunteers who embrace our core commitment to equality and representation.
Mentoring at Project EduAccess can be a rewarding experience! By sharing your expertise and experience, you can positively impact the future of students from historically marginalised and disadvantaged communities. You can also become part of and benefit from the network of mentors working with Project EduAccess.
