About the program

In 2020, we launched Star Team, a non-profit pilot program, for which we selected a group of high school students from Yakutia and individually prepared them to enter the best universities abroad.

Today, 11 graduates of this program are studying at top universities in the United States and Canada.

This year we are expanding the program and giving everyone who has an ambitious goal to study abroad the opportunity to participate.

Why is this important to us

The success of the pilot program shows that capable and motivated schoolchildren from remote regions can enter the best universities in the world.

This offers great opportunities and prospects to make a significant contribution to their homeland and the world, and we believe that our participants will support the next generation and inspire by example.

I am confident that talented and trained leaders, focused on positive changes in their communities and on a global scale, will help address social and environmental challenges. Star Team is dedicated to identifying and helping such leaders, with an emphasis on underrepresented communities. This is a long-term commitment, and I believe it will yield tremendous positive results. Best of luck to the team!

Our participants say

Getting into a foreign university demands a lot of emotional strength and hard work. This experience has taught me the importance of setting priorities. Right now, I’m very excited and eagerly waiting for my studies to start. I don’t want to speculate about my future. I’ll gain experience first and then decide on my future career.

The university will give me the necessary connections and knowledge in programming, which I plan to use to start a business and help make my home republic better. Without a program like Star Team, I wouldn’t have dared to dream about applying to such prestigious universities.

Star Team is an extraordinary initiative! It’s truly a one-in-a-million opportunity that has allowed me to tap into my potential on a global scale.
