Our take

Zero Gravity unleashes the potential of talented students from low-income backgrounds by propelling them into university, work, and life. Since its launch, it's mentored over 15,000 low-income students into highly selective universities and hundreds into elite careers. Believing that talent is spread evenly, but opportunity is not, it's dedicated to changing that so students can achieve futures they once thought impossible.

It unlocks student's potential by breaking down barriers to opportunities through the power of membership. Its mentoring and masterclasses offer an inside track to reaching the best universities and careers, with technology that enables the company to achieve these goals at speed and scale.

Alongside its main initiatives, the company has established Zero Gravity Fund to provide financial support to talented students from low-income backgrounds. Since its inception, it has deployed over £1.5 million in scholarships to Zero Gravity members, further supporting their journey. Through both its programs and financial aid, Zero Gravity is committed to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
