Every student featured here started exactly where you are—uncertain, overwhelmed, but determined. They used Aspiraway's tools and mentorship to navigate the complex study abroad process. Now they're studying at their dream universities, and many have become mentors themselves, helping the next generation of students.
Rohan Shrestha was a final-year student at Tribhuvan University in Kathmandu when he first discovered the Gates Cambridge Scholarship. "I thought it was impossible for someone like me," he recalls. With a 3.6 GPA from a local university and no publications, he didn't fit the typical profile of Gates scholars.
But Rohan had something unique: real-world experience working on rural electrification projects in Nepal. Through Aspiraway, he connected with a mentor who helped him see this wasn't a weakness—it was his competitive advantage.
"My mentor told me: 'Cambridge has thousands of applicants from IITs and top American schools. They don't have many students who've worked on solar panel installations in off-grid Nepali villages. That's your story.' That conversation changed everything."
Over 8 months, Rohan strategically built his profile: he conducted research with a professor, scored 8.0 on IELTS through free online resources, and went through 12 drafts of his SOP with feedback from three different Aspiraway mentors.
Today, Rohan is pursuing his MPhil in Computer Science at Cambridge on a full Gates Cambridge Scholarship worth £65,000+. He's now an Aspiraway mentor himself, helping students from Nepal and India navigate their own journeys.
