This Academic Mentoring Programme is designed for learners who have the drive to grow but lack the right mentor or access to quality education. It is especially focused on supporting girls and young women in challenging contexts, such as Afghanistan, who face barriers to schooling, guidance, and academic opportunities. Through one-to-one online mentoring, we connect aspiring students with experienced mentors who can offer academic support, encouragement, and practical advice across Scholarships, Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD pathways.
