The University Access Project (UAP) supports high school learners, especially matriculants, by removing barriers to higher education. Our comprehensive approach includes career guidance, assistance with university and funding applications, academic and psychosocial support, and mentorship. Through this model, we address both immediate and structural challenges that hinder access to post-matric opportunities..
