Help with the cost of personal guidance.

Who can apply

School students, university students, recent graduates and people preparing for further study or a career step may apply. Requests may concern student pathway guidance, undergraduate applications, graduate applications, MBA applications or career support.

We consider financial need, the guidance requested, its timing and the support available. A particular grade average, a referral, an existing paid engagement or participation in the ambassador programme is not required.

Applications are considered across the locations we can practically support. A parent or guardian may apply on a student’s behalf. Applicants under 18 must involve a parent or guardian before accepting support. Children under 13 should not submit their information directly through the public form.

What support can cover

Support may take the form of a partial reduction or a full waiver of fees for specifically agreed Tareekey services. The individual offer identifies the services covered, the extent of support, any remaining fee and any conditions before you decide whether to proceed.

This programme does not fund university tuition, university application charges, tests, visas, travel, living costs or other third-party expenses. Support is applied to Tareekey service fees; it is not a cash payment, reimbursement or transferable award. Work already completed is not covered retrospectively.

How to apply

Use the financial aid form to describe the guidance you need, your current stage and how support would help. A brief explanation is enough for the first review. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis while review capacity is available.

Do not include bank details, income records, identity documents or other sensitive documents in the public form or ordinary email. If the team needs further context, it will discuss a suitable next step directly. An application is not an offer of aid.

Review and response

An authorised team member reviews each request. We may ask relevant follow-up questions or suggest a different scope of guidance. Decisions are made by people; the website does not automatically select recipients.

We aim to provide an initial response within 10 working days. Working days are Monday to Friday, excluding team closure days notified to you. This is a response target, not a guaranteed award or final-decision deadline. If a review needs more time, we aim to explain the next step. Where timing is urgent, tell us your deadline and contact info@tareekey.com.

Aid depends on need, available resources and our ability to deliver the requested support. It is limited and is not guaranteed. If you believe important information was misunderstood, you may ask the team to reconsider it with a brief clarification. Reconsideration does not guarantee a different outcome.

Your written offer

Before work begins, we confirm any offer privately in writing. Unless that offer states otherwise, it remains open for 30 calendar days from issue. You can request an extension before it expires; an extension depends on availability.

A service engagement starts only after its scope and applicable service terms are separately agreed. You may decline an offer before accepting it without buying anything. Changes to accepted support require agreement in writing. Cancellation or deferral after work starts is handled under the separate service agreement, without limiting applicable consumer rights.

Aid and the ambassador programme

You may apply for financial aid and the ambassador programme separately. Needs-based aid does not depend on referring customers, posting about Tareekey, becoming an ambassador or continuing in an ambassador role.

Any combination of awards is confirmed in writing. Combined support cannot exceed the Tareekey fees for the agreed services or be exchanged for cash. A change in ambassador participation does not by itself remove independently approved needs-based aid.

Privacy and fair treatment

Applications are available only to authorised staff handling enquiries and applications, as explained in the Tareekey privacy notice. Your application is not published. Applying does not give permission to use your name, photograph or story in marketing.

Provide information that is accurate to the best of your knowledge. If a mistake could affect the review, tell the team. A request to correct an error or discuss a decision does not require a public testimonial or endorsement.

When these terms apply

These terms apply from the publication date displayed on the approved page. Pending applicants receive the applicable terms before accepting a new offer. An already accepted offer keeps its agreed conditions unless a change is mutually agreed or required by applicable law.

Future updates apply to new applications and offers. No aid offer guarantees admission, a university scholarship, employment or another third-party outcome. For questions, contact info@tareekey.com.
