created with home in mind - a nest to always come back to
ABOUT
EstuNido was founded by a first-generation college student who recognizes the challenges and isolation that can accompany the journey of navigating higher education.
OUR MISSION is to provide a comprehensive site that supports individuals in navigating all stages of higher education, from the college/university application process to postgraduate and professional programs. We know that there are thousands of resources available online, but filtering through the useful ones can be a tedious task. Our goal is to help you save time by highlighting free and helpful resources.
WE BELIEVE that 'everyone has a right to education' (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 26, 1948) and that access to education should not be gatekept.
Our name is small reflection of our mission. EstuNido is a play on words where "estu" is short for estudiante, a Spanish word that means student, "nido" means nest, and together as a phrase "es tu nido" translates to "it's your nest." Our hope is to be a starting point that becomes a home - a nest you can come back to again and again throughout your academic journey.
Please note that our current resources are focused on assisting individuals navigate the higher education system in the United States.
"Learning will never quench our thirst for knowledge, but utilizing the knowledge we have gained through learning will satisfy our hearts. "
- Isabel (EstuNido, Founder)
