Education Access Foundation

Education access should not depend on knowing the unwritten rules.

We make education and scholarship pathways clearer for people in low- and middle-income countries.

Our commitment

Free and open

Core resources stay free to use and share.

Who it is for

Applicants in low- and middle-income countries

From choosing a path to submitting an application.

Open now

Grad School Retreat

Cohort 2 closes 14 August 2026.

Why we exist

Most young people live furthest from the world’s scholarships.

Many leading universities and funded opportunities sit far from the people who could benefit most.

Cost is only part of the barrier. Applications rely on cultural, academic, and procedural knowledge that institutions rarely explain.

Information travels easily today. We provide the clarity and guidance to use it.
