Where Gemini comes in

The scholarship needs an offer. We get you the offer.

We match you with approved, highly ranked universities that fit your grades and field.

A stronger application

Offer to arrival

Once your offer arrives, we support you through English requirements, the student visa and settling in.

Common questions

Frequently asked

Is Gemini Admissions part of the government?

No. Gemini Admissions is an independent, UK-registered education consultancy. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Kuwait's Ministry of Higher Education. Scholarship applications are made only through the Ministry's official channels.

Where do I apply for the scholarship?

Applications are submitted through the Ministry of Higher Education's official channels, usually announced around May–June each year. We help you with the university admission side — not with submitting the scholarship application itself.

Can you guarantee I get the scholarship?

No one can. Selection is made by the government body that runs the programme. What we can do is give you the strongest possible chance by helping you win an offer from an approved, highly ranked university.

Do you only work with UK universities?

No. We place students in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand — so we can target approved universities in whichever country suits your field.
