The problem we are solving
Most top universities offer financial aid. But those who need financial aid can often not afford strong admissions consulting.
This creates a double disadvantage: students ask the university for financial support — while submitting an application that was put together without professional help. That is what we want to change.
Why this matters
An exceptional profile deserves an exceptional application — regardless of what the parents earn.
Many of the strongest candidates never reach their dream university — not because their profile falls short, but because nobody showed them how to present it compellingly. ARC's scholarship is our direct response to this structural problem.
What the scholarship includes
Scholarship recipients receive full access to everything ARC offers — the same personal, ethical and expert service as every other student. No reduced programme. No difference.
The consulting covers a complete application cycle: from university selection to essay brainstorming and feedback, recommendation letter strategy and interview preparation.
Building a realistic and ambitious list matched to profile, interests and goals.
Brainstorming and multiple rounds of detailed feedback — from the first idea to the final version.
Who do you ask? How do you brief them? What makes a strong letter of recommendation?
Targeted preparation and mock interviews for programmes that conduct admission interviews.
Who can apply
The scholarship is aimed at students with genuine academic excellence and personal ambition, for whom the cost of private admissions consulting would otherwise represent a barrier.
Academic ExcellenceDemonstrated achievement and the potential to succeed at a top programme worldwide.
Personal Character and AmbitionGenuine motivation, curiosity and the willingness to work hard on your own application.
Exceptional Extracurricular EngagementDepth and authenticity of involvement outside the classroom — not quantity, but meaning.
Demonstrated Financial NeedThe cost of private admissions consulting represents a genuine barrier for you or your family.
Open WorldwideStudents from any country can apply — with no geographic restriction.
Our founding story
ARC Consultancy was founded by a Harvard graduate who experienced first-hand the difference the right guidance can make at a decisive moment. Not everyone has access to that network — and that needed to change.
Our scholarship is a direct expression of that founding story. We believe that exceptional students should have access to world-class admissions consulting regardless of their financial situation.
The scholarship is not a marketing tool.
It is a promise.
