UniAssist
One generation empowering the next
Who We Are
At UniAssist, our aim is clear; to aid and support sixth formers from non-traditional backgrounds that are applying to higher education and to better their chances of acceptance. Those who are first in their family to apply and enter higher education are often not privy to the same information and resources as their peers, therefore missing out on life-changing opportunities. UniAssist aims to bridge the gap and offer equal opportunities to those who struggle with the application processes. We strive to equip each individual with various professional and life skills such as interpersonal skills, communication skills and more to enhance their future.
