Project 1000

HOW DOES PROJECT 1000 WORK?
Project 1000 centralizes and facilitates the graduate school application process by greatly reducing the expenses normally involved in applying to graduate school. Once you have made the decision to apply to graduate school, complete a Project 1000 electronic application and submit it along with necessary supporting documentation to our office. When the file is complete, we photocopy your materials and send them to a maximum of seven universities of your choice. For the most part, participating universities have agreed to accept these materials in place of their own and have agreed to waive their application fee. Throughout the process, the Project 1000 staff is here to answer questions, review application essays, and to provide you with names and phone numbers of Project 1000 contact people at the participating universities.
