GradQuo Fellowship 2024
Every year, there are talented students like yourself who dream of pursuing graduate school in the US, UK or Canada but simply cannot afford the expert preparatory services often needed to compile a compelling application. GradQuo was founded by a first generation student, Calvin Wright, who would not have been offered admissions to colleges in the US (undergraduate and PhD) without the generous help of many kind supporters.
We therefore want to help other students who are not only high achieving, but also lack the financial resources to explore our services. We will award 1 Fellowship and 2 grants as described in the flyers accompanying this application.
We are offering the above programs completely free of charge to up to 3 GQ Fellows. This is a rolling opportunity which means that we will continue to review applications throughout the year until the fellowship positions are filled. SO APPLY EARLY! Additionally, our first GRE/GMAT/LSAT section begins in June, so we will prioritize students/professionals who are able to make use of June test prep.

GQ Fellow : Premium PLUS Consultations and 3 month Test Prep
GQ Grant : 3 month Test Prep ONLY
GQ Grant : Premium PLUS Consultations ONLY
GQ Grant : Reduced Cost Test Prep or Consultations
Which of the above options are you most interested in being considered for ? The GQ Fellowship is highly competitive, and each year, we receive numerous applications for only three available fellowships/grants. While we strive to support all qualified and deserving students, unfortunately, we cannot always award fellowships to all applicants. However, we are fortunate to receive sponsorships from our industry partners and donors, which helps offset costs for our applicants throughout the year. If you selected "Reduced Cost Test Prep or Consultations" as your preferred option, we would like to know what maximum contribution you are willing and able to make towards your preferred package. We want to clarify that this information will not affect your application's evaluation in any way, but it could potentially help us provide support to students who may not be able to work with us otherwise. We understand that financial situations vary, and if you are entirely unable to make any contribution, please do let us know as well.
