About Us
Built by students, for students.
Elevate Futures began with a simple idea: no student should have to navigate the college application process alone. What started as a group of Nepalese students at Cornell helping a few friends has grown into a movement—offering mentorship, guidance, and real support to students across Nepal and beyond.
