IELS Membership
Support for the applications that matter to you
Everyone can use the opportunity board, IELS Circle and our free resources. Members add the personal part: live application clinics, written feedback on a CV or essay, a study buddy with the same goal, and a private member group.

What membership doesn't include or promise
- IELS Courses, the Global Impact Fellowship and other paid programs are priced separately.
- Elco AI (our English-practice app) is a separate product with its own free and paid plans.
- We don't guarantee scholarships, admissions, jobs, visas or selection into any program. We help you find opportunities and prepare strong applications; the decision is always the program's.
- Mentoring by named experts isn't part of membership yet. When we add it, we'll say exactly who, when and how often.
Be one of the founding members
We're opening membership to a first group so we can keep sessions small and reviews thorough. Leave your email and we'll tell you the price and the first session dates before anyone else. Joining the list costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
