With Digital Mentorship, Bloomberg Is Making Higher Education More Accessible

“I’ve wanted to be a doctor since I was ten years old,” recalls Leicester, UK-based student, Georgina. “But I didn’t know how I would be a doctor.”

Georgina’s story is a familiar one for many college-bound students — particularly those from less-advantaged backgrounds, who more often than their peers lack the critical mentorship to navigate the labyrinthine college and financial aid application processes that await them in their crucial next decisions in life.

Many of the anxieties and questions these students face are also common ones, too. “How do I apply for financial aid? Is this university out of reach for me? What makes a compelling college entry essay?”
