About Elevate
Empowering students to achieve their international education dreams since 2015
Our Story
Elevate was founded in 2015 by a group of former international students who experienced firsthand the challenges of studying abroad. What began as a small advisory service has grown into a comprehensive platform supporting thousands of students worldwide.
Our founders recognized that while studying abroad offers tremendous opportunities, the journey is filled with complex processes, cultural adjustments, and logistical challenges. Elevate was created to simplify this journey and ensure that every student can access quality international education.
Today, we're proud to have helped over 10,000 students from 75+ countries achieve their educational dreams at prestigious institutions worldwide.
