Frequently Asked Questions
The same facts our chat assistant uses, laid out in full. If your question is not here, message us on WhatsApp.
What programmes do you offer?
Three mentorship programmes: Foundation, for first research projects from Grade 8 through early undergraduate; Scholar, for a full Master's or PhD thesis or dissertation; and Elite Fellowship, for PhD submission, viva preparation, and journal publication. Each pairs you with one dedicated mentor for the full length of the project.
How does pricing work?
Pricing is set at intake, against your specific project, discipline, and timeline. We do not quote publicly because no two projects carry the same scope. Book a discovery call for a real number.
What is the Six Stage Research Integrity Framework?
Our structured process: Pre Engagement Intake, Research Design and Proposal, Literature Review and Synthesis, Methodology and Data Collection, Analysis and Academic Writing, and Submission, Publication and Defence. Every programme runs on this framework, at a depth matched to the tier.
Do you write the work for me?
No. Inkspire is a mentorship service, not a ghostwriting or submission service. Your mentor teaches structure, method, and academic writing at each stage. The research question, the argument, and the final submission decision remain yours. See our Academic Integrity page for the full position.
Do you help with the UK research visa route?
Yes. Since January 2024, only postgraduate research programmes, PhD, MPhil, or MRes, let international students bring dependants to the UK. We help build the research proposal needed to be admitted onto a qualifying programme.
What if I am under 18?
We mentor students from Grade 8 upward. Every mentorship for a minor includes a parent or guardian as a named point of contact, and communication runs through documented channels. Read our full Safeguarding statement for details.
Which countries do you serve?
Our students are headed toward institutions across six regions: the United Kingdom, Australia, China, the United States, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia, plus dozens more institutions in the wider Middle East, Germany, Canada, and beyond.
Is mentorship in person or online?
Entirely online. There is no physical office to visit, by design: every session runs remotely by video call and structured written feedback, across every programme and country. This is what lets us match you with the single best mentor for your specific research rather than whoever is geographically nearest, and lets you work around your own timetable and time zone rather than fixed office hours.
Do you partner with universities?
No. Inkspire is not affiliated with any university. The institutions we list are the ones our students are trained to be admitted to, not our partners. Our institutional partnerships are with research centres, corporate sponsors, and education agencies commissioning cohort mentorship.
How fast do you respond?
Within 30 minutes during working hours, whether you reach us by WhatsApp, the contact form, or the intake form.
What is AI detection review and humanisation?
A specialist editing service that reviews written work against AI detection tools and revises it for natural academic voice. It is one of several specialist services alongside statistical analysis, mock viva preparation, and literature review support.
Do you have anything for younger children?
Yes. For Juniors covers ages 6 to 11: fine arts and sculpture, and project first coding, taught by a qualified instructor with the same belief in mentorship at the right early stage. See the For Juniors page for the full programme.
Where can I find open scholarships?
Scholarship Alerts lists currently open scholarships, refreshed automatically every six hours from official provider feeds, plus Chevening and Commonwealth, tracked by hand by our own mentor panel.
