I was born into a middle-class family in India, with big dreams of studying abroad and building a better life. From a young age, I aspired to pursue higher education in the UK. However, life took an unexpected turn when I lost my father to COVID-19 at the end of December 2021. His passing left our family devastated, emotionally and financially. The loss shattered not only my heart but also my plans to study overseas. I felt hopeless, and the future I had envisioned seemed impossible.
During this challenging time, I came to know about Emperor Study Abroad, an organization that supports students in pursuing education in foreign countries. I reached out to them with the little hope I had left, and they responded with compassion and professionalism. I was introduced to Mrs. Sneha Rengaswamy, who would go on to become my greatest guide and support throughout the process.
From our very first conversation, I explained my personal and financial situation to her. She listened with patience and understanding, and her encouragement gave me the confidence to start my journey again. She reviewed my CV in detail, assessed my background, and carefully guided me through every step.
Since my pattern of education in India required me to take the IELTS exam, she and her team helped me prepare through coaching and mock tests. Once I achieved the required score, Mrs. Sneha immediately began the application process. She consulted with me at each stage, from selecting the right university to finalizing my course. When I felt confused or uncertain, she provided clear, thoughtful guidance that always felt like advice from an elder sister.

Balancing work and study was difficult. The team helped me find part-time roles and maintain a balanced workload. This made my experience smoother.

I had trouble with my visa application, and after two rejections, I felt hopeless. The team reviewed every detail, guided me through the process, and eventually on the third attempt, my visa was approved. Now I’m studying in my dream destination.

My biggest challenge was choosing the right course. The team understood my interests, strengths, and goals, and matched me with the perfect program. Now I feel excited every day about my studies.

Language barriers were a big issue for me. The team arranged language support, mock interviews, and writing sessions. Now I feel confident and ready for my classes.

The cost of applying was overwhelming. The team found affordable options and recommended grants. All expenses are covered, and I’m excited about the journey ahead.

My original plan was to study in one country, but last-minute changes made that impossible. The team helped me pivot quickly, find a new destination, and adjust my applications. I’m now settled and thriving.

When I first approached The Emperor Study Abroad, I was worried about funding. The team helped me find scholarships and guided me through the application process, and now I have a full scholarship and am on my way to my dream university.

I struggled with homesickness. The team connected me with support groups and other students, and now I have a network and feel more at home.

My high school grades weren’t strong. The team helped me craft a compelling application and highlight my strengths. I got accepted into my program.

I was worried about cultural differences. The team set up cultural orientation sessions, introduced local communities, and helped me integrate. I now feel at home and confident.
