What is Hermiona Gifted?
At Hermiona Education, we care about making top educational opportunities available to as many students and families as possible, regardless of financial status. The objective of our Gifted program – just one stream of our pro bono product line – is to
-
Place highly talented students into top schools and universities through free or heavily discounted prep and application support services
-
Help students to receive significant financial aid from the institution of their dreams
-
A combination of the above.
Who qualifies to apply to be a Hermiona Gifted student?
To apply for our program, a student must
-
Be oriented on applying to top high schools, undergraduate, or graduate programs for matriculation in North America or the United Kingdom within the coming 2 years. Please note that approximately 80% of our award recipients will be undergraduate degree applicants, since this is where we feel we can have the strongest impact on students’ futures.
-
Demonstrate a record of extraordinary achievement – be it in academics, athletics, independent business or social initiatives, or other area – that would make them eligible for admission to the very top schools and universities. We are flexible about how talent and achievement can be demonstrated and are open to considering standardized test scores, school results, extracurricular leadership, competition wins, independent research accomplishments, and other accomplishments.
-
Be otherwise unable to pay full price for Hermiona services, for studies, or both. Hermiona Gifted grants range from 15% off full price to completely free of charge.
Our results
Since 2019, we have provided full admissions services to Hermiona Gifted students who were admitted to universities including Harvard, Stanford, MIT, UPenn, and Cambridge. During this time, we have also provided dozens of consultations pro bono and provided free, field-specific enrichment courses for gifted students. The approximate total value of Hermiona grants in this period is $170,000 with individual families receiving between $3,000 and $25,000 in pro bono services. The total value of financial aid received by our university students as of summer 2024 is approximately $2.24 million.
How to apply for Hermiona Gifted services
In addition to documenting the above qualifications, we ask students to provide us with sample essays that give us a sense of their personality, values, and strengths by creating a compelling written personal presentation in response to a prompt.
