About the Geography for All resource directory
Our Geography for All resources are a curated, searchable collection of opportunities, programmes and initiatives supporting students from underrepresented backgrounds in geography and related fields.
This online hub maps pathways across the social mobility landscape, bringing together scholarships, internships, mentoring programmes, career development opportunities, and other forms of support that can help students before, during and after university.
Developed as part of our Geography for All initiative, the directory aims to make it easier for students, teachers and educators to find clear, practical routes into and through geography, from study to future careers.
The directory also serves as a platform to connect students to wider networks and opportunities beyond the geography community, amplifying the work of organisations already leading in shaping equitable futures.
We will further spotlight both national and community-led initiatives, helping students navigate their options with confidence.
