Edulift is an Oxford-grounded organisation offering expert, ethical guidance for students, researchers, and universities — academic writing, admissions, scholarship applications, and research skills.
An Oxford-grounded organisation helping students, graduates, and researchers unlock academic opportunity — through expert, ethical, and personalised guidance.
Edulift was founded by Dr Reyam Rammahi to bridge a gap she knows first-hand. Growing up in Iraq during years of conflict, then navigating international scholarships to Oxford, she saw how much academic opportunity depends on knowing which door to knock on — and how few students are ever shown the map.
Edulift exists to change that: to make the guidance, training, and mentorship that unlock university, scholarship, and research pathways available to ambitious learners from every background, not only those with privileged access to it.
To give ambitious students, graduates, and researchers the writing, reasoning, and access they need to flourish in higher education — through expert, ethical guidance in academic writing, scholarship and admissions, research skills, and mentorship — and to build something sustainable enough to keep doing it, for people from every background.
An internationally recognised organisation that broadens access to higher education, supports lifelong learning, strengthens widening participation, and equips ambitious individuals from all backgrounds to transform opportunity into achievement.
Reach students with the potential but not the map — those who don't yet know which opportunities exist, or how to reach them.
Oxford-trained mentors and a deliberately diverse team, holding student work to a real academic standard.
Ethical guidance — we help you make your case, not make one up for you. Every word remains your own.
Free where it counts, paid where it scales — backed by both the learners we serve and the partners who fund the mission.
The same craft, three audiences. Select who you're here for and see the programmes, workshops, and one-to-one support we offer.
Direct programmes for students and families. Every programme starts with a free introductory session; advanced modules are paid.
Three long-form programmes that anchor everything we do — one for individuals aiming at competitive funding, one for researchers, and one for the institutions we partner with.
End-to-end coaching for competitive scholarships — Rhodes, Chevening, Fulbright, Commonwealth, and national funding. Application strategy, personal statement, research proposal, and interview preparation.
For applicants · Application cycleA structured programme for aspiring and current researchers: research design, academic writing, publication strategy, and responding to peer review — plus one-to-one mentorship from Oxford-trained researchers.
For postgraduate & early-career · Multi-weekWe deliver writing programmes, teacher CPD, and widening-participation initiatives inside schools and universities — timetabled cohorts, tailored to your subjects, students, and reporting needs.
For institutions · Ongoing partnershipWhere we're different from a private tutor, a school careers office, or a large agency — and why it matters.
You work with people who have completed and taught at the highest levels of higher education, not generalist advisors.
We help you make your case — we never write it for you. Every word remains yours; the argument is yours to defend.
Widening participation is our founding purpose, not an add-on. If cost is a barrier, ask about our access places.
Our founder and mentors have secured Fulbright, Commonwealth, and other named competitive awards — and coached others to do the same.
