UGS Program

Are YOU ready to jumpstart your pathway to higher education, including studying abroad in the USA, UK, Europe, Australia, China, Korea, UAE, Canada, or Southeast Asia with a scholarship?

Dreams do not just come true overnight! They take mentorship, training, and acquiring a creative mindset to become a reality. We have developed a stage-based developmental program that will help your child be ready to pursue their education and place them on the path to earning a scholarship at one of the international universities of their dreams. The system is based on accruing points tied to specific preparation steps that collectively set them on the pathway to scholarship success. Points are awarded based on the thoroughness of completing a step, the elements of the steps themselves, the uniqueness of the response, and the student's performance. Your goal as a student participant is to score as many points as possible at each stage to bring you closer to becoming an Admissions & Scholarship Superstar!

Although no one can guarantee your student a scholarship (in fact, this is illegal in many countries, especially the U.S.), completing our stage-based developmental program will significantly enhance your student’s chances for admission and scholarship success!

Introduction to the University Global Scholars Network (UGSN):

University Global Scholars Network

The global admissions and scholarship process is based on a holistic approach to evaluating candidates. It involves many steps and examines various aspects of the applicant, ranging from grades, achievements, social-economic background, academic course rigor, test scores, creative mindset possession, community service engagement, and the development of a Passion with a Purpose Project. 

No single qualification will get a student admitted to a top university. Global universities are seeking candidates with a wide variety of skills and accomplishments. A top GPA is a benefit but not a deal breaker. Being a poor test-taker will not eliminate your chances of acceptance at many leading universities. Not achieving 500 hours of community service will not exclude you from reaching top applicant status. Being an introvert will not limit your chances of reaching for the stars. Lacking access to rigorous courses will not stop you from entering many dream schools. 

What will stop you from reaching that scholarship or gaining admission to one of your dream schools is a lack of a creative mindset and an inability to effectively create and communicate your Unique YOU Brand to admissions and scholarship readers. The University Global Scholars Program will help students grow as thinkers and learn how to package themselves as unique assets for their dream schools. Preparation in the scholarship pathway over multiple years will significantly aid the student’s admission and success.
