Together
We aim to support high school students through navigating the university application process. At NEST, we believe that the educational journey should be a shared experience where individuals can learn from each other’s insights, experiences, and perspectives. Students can benefit from the wisdom and guidance of mentors who have experienced a similar path, gaining valuable advice on academics, university life, and personal development.

What Is NEST?
We are a mentoring network that offers a unique sign-up based service that connects high school students with knowledgeable university mentors, providing personalized guidance and support. Whether you’re unsure about which program to choose, seeking advice on putting together an impressive application, or simply looking for insights into university life, our mentors are here to help. We believe that advice and mentorship should be accessible to all, hence our services are offered at no cost. Our goal is to empower young students with the knowledge and confidence they need to navigate their educational journey successfully.
Why Did We Start NEST?
“Having personally experienced the confusion and stress of applying to university, I recognized the profound impact that mentorship and guidance can have, particularly from individuals who’ve recently been through similar experiences. I wanted to create a platform where students could connect with knowledgeable mentors in their aspiring field of study. I know that a platform like NEST would have made my own transition less overwhelming, and I hope it helps current high school students begin theirs with more confidence, and a sense of direction.”
