Second Chance

Second Chance was conceived in 2018 when 60 of the world’s best students had their full scholarships revoked by a university at the last moment. Every year, high-achieving, high-need students around the world miss out on university for reasons outside of their control. These students have applied to university, but are not able to access the financial aid they had hoped for. This is where Second Chance comes in. Each year, we identify a cohort of the world's most brilliant students who face financial and other barriers to higher education, who have not gained access to university in the usual application cycle. These students come from the most difficult circumstances worldwide. After April 1, when universities have usually finalized their funding, our team of highly committed, experienced college counselors rapidly place these students at excellent universities around the world, with full scholarships.
