Students helping students across borders
Guidance
Real questions, real answers.
Opportunity
Scholarships, roles, programmes.
Community
A movement for students.
University is full of opportunities — but not everyone gets the same roadmap.
Many students know they want to do something meaningful, but they do not always know where to start. Scholarships, internships, research roles, exchange programmes, career paths, postgraduate applications, and networking can feel confusing, especially for first-generation, international, or under-resourced students. Wayfindr exists to make guidance easier to access.
Too much information
Students often do not know which opportunities matter or where to begin.
Not enough guidance
Many students do not have access to mentors who understand their journey.
Confidence gaps
Sometimes the biggest barrier is not ability — it is not knowing what is possible.
A student-built platform for guidance, opportunities, and community.
Wayfindr connects students across universities and countries through peer mentorship, curated opportunities, and honest student stories. It is built for students who are ambitious but unsure, capable but under-guided, and looking for people who can help them take the next step.
Peer Mentorship
Get matched with students who can guide you through academics, careers, internships, applications, and university life.
Opportunities
Discover scholarships, internships, fellowships, competitions, research programmes, and student opportunities from around the world.
Community
Join a growing international network of students helping each other move forward.

“I did not know where to begin — I just needed someone to explain the process.”
“Sometimes one conversation can make an opportunity feel possible.”
“Wayfindr is for students who are capable, but under-guided.”
Why Wayfindr exists
Wayfindr was created by Nia Tombri, a Biochemistry student at King’s College London and international student from Mumbai, after realising how many students are expected to navigate opportunities without a clear roadmap. Wayfindr is built from the belief that guidance should not be a privilege — it should be shared.
