About us
We're three people who genuinely enjoy helping adults find their way into university and who know the application and student-finance process inside out. We started GradForward because that guidance shouldn't be hard to find, or cost you anything.
Chief Technical Officer
"I've spent my career turning messy, intimidating information into something people can actually act on. Applying to university as an adult is exactly that kind of problem — the courses are out there, the funding is out there, but the path through it is genuinely hard to see. GradForward exists to make that path clear."
Application & Student finance Manager
"Most people don't come to us because they can't do the course, they come because the paperwork and the funding feel impossible to decode. I've been through it myself. My job is to sit with you, answer the same question as many times as you need, and make sure nothing catches you out.
From understanding entry requirements to shaping a personal statement that reflects who you really are, we've supported many adults through the process including those coming in via Access courses, BTECs and work experience.
It's the part people find most confusing, so it's the part we've made it our business to explain well — tuition loans, maintenance support, eligibility, and how repayments actually work, all in plain English.
