EDUCATED was founded in 2023 by a first-generation student who saw one painful truth: talent alone was not enough. In Uzbekistan, thousands of brilliant students lacked guidance to apply abroad—not due to ability, but because opportunity was tied to privilege. We stepped in to change that.

Inspiring Results
Despite being rejected from all my dream colleges and having no financial means to afford consulting services, I worked with Saidamir and EDUCATED's support mentors—and with their guidance, I was accepted to my top-choice schools, including New York University Shanghai with a full scholarship.
Nigina

When I joined EDUCATED, I had no preparation and knew almost nothing about the college admission process. Yet, after months of tireless work, guided by EDUCATED Season 6 and Saidamir’s one-on-one mentorship, I was admitted to Northwestern University in Qatar with their prestigious full-ride scholarship for 4 years.

With Saidamir's mentorship, I was able to get $56,000 scholarship which covers 94% of my tuition at my dream college in Pennsylvania, and I am forever grateful for having the privilege of being one of EDUCATED's students
Aziza

As a participant in EDUCATED, I learned to apply to universities in the U.S., Poland, and Korea. The sessions provided clear, step-by-step guidance for applications. Before joining, I never imagined I could win scholarships independently, but now I’ve secured a 100% scholarship and am aiming for a full-ride.
