During the period of the project, University of the People, continued to provide access to higher education for students around the world. It worked to promote lower education costs and helped democratize higher education. To date, over 1500 students from 136 countries have been accepted. UoPeople continued to attact grassroots support- with more people showing their support by joining its Facebook page- and continued to attract media attention- appearing in numorous news articles. It worked on its scholarship system, awarding a number of scholarships to deserving students, including several women. It also opened a Micro-Scholarship Portal, the first of its kind at any university, where donors can help students in need directly. UoPeople continued to seek further support for its scholarships and continued to advocate for the right to education for its students.
