Introducing the ESAI Access Grant

Empowering Schools. Expanding Counselor Capacity. Elevating Student Storytelling.

ESAI is launching the ESAI Access Grant, a semesterly opportunity for organizations to receive full, no-cost access to our ethical AI college-application and internship tools. Designed for schools with counselor overload and organizations that want to better support students, the grant offers a simple, high-impact way to bring ESAI directly into your classrooms, counseling offices, or extracurricular programs.

This seasonal grant is designed to strengthen a student's college-readiness efforts, reduce counselor workload, and ensure students have access to ethical, confidence-building AI support during the most demanding periods of the year—from spring major exploration and college discovery to the fall launch of the application cycle.

Up to $5 Million

The ESAI Access Grant reflects a significant investment of up to $5 million in student support tools. Our goal is to remove barriers, expand opportunity, and ensure that every student has access to the tools that can strengthen their college journey. We provide this at no cost to ensure that financial limitations never prevent students from receiving the support they deserve.
