Zero Gravity is home to the biggest community of socially mobile talent in the UK, with over 15,000 members coming from socially mobile backgrounds across all four corners of the UK. We scale your outreach, connecting you with post-16 talent at 1700+ state schools nationally, that’s almost 30% of UK state schools, and doubling students chances of reaching a university offer, through 1:1 mentoring, masterclasses and our digital community (UCAS report).

Our holistic membership journey is closely aligned with the 12 risks of the OFS EORR. Once we power our members onto your campus, we then power them to succeed and progress, through 1:1 career counselling, scholarships, internships and career opportunities. We work closely with our corporate partners like HSBC, Morgan Stanley, Ricardo and HW Fisher to create equality of opportunity at the progression level, powering students into a diverse range of industries, securing their professional networks and graduate outcomes.

From identifying and deploying scholarships through our tech, to embedding a network advantage through your alumni network, the scope of Zero Gravity’s higher education partnerships span from Access teams to Alumni. When you become a Zero Gravity university, our tech breaks down the walls between access, success and progression teams, enabling a greater level of interconnectivity within your institution.

We provide each of our partners with a free dashboard, with live data reporting so you can see direct outcomes across the entire widening participation student life-cycle. See how many students you’re powering into uni from low opportunity areas, the engagement levels of current undergraduates, and track the progression outcomes your students are achieving – with easy-to-use data at your fingertips.
