Creative Mentorship for Aspiring Postgraduate Students from Pakistan

Guidance, support, and resources to help you secure global opportunities in creative education.

About the Initiative

Pursuing a postgraduate degree in a creative field abroad is a challenging yet rewarding journey. From crafting compelling applications to preparing standout portfolios and securing funding, the process can be overwhelming, especially with limited access to guidance and resources.

That’s where we come in.

This free-of-cost mentorship program is designed to support Pakistani students aspiring to study creative disciplines abroad. Led by experienced mentors who have successfully navigated this journey, we provide insights, feedback, and resources to help you put your best foot forward.

Our goal isn’t to create your portfolio or write your statements. we’re here to empower you with the knowledge, confidence, and tools to showcase your talent and secure the opportunities you deserve.
