My Acolyte is the workspace for funded postgraduate applications. It finds the opportunities, drafts every document in your own voice, scores how strong it really is, and puts a human academic on your final draft before a panel ever sees it.

“Your motivation is clear, but paragraph three still tells the panel what you admire rather than what you did.”
Reviewer note
Everything the
application needs.
Six things stand between you and a funded place. My Acolyte does all six, in one workspace, without you juggling documents across a dozen tabs.
Find the opportunity
Verified funded PhD adverts and a curated library of Master’s and PhD scholarship schemes.
Filter by country, funding type and your own research keywords. Every listing carries the supervisor, stipend, entry requirements, required documents and the exact closing date. Paste a link to any advert you found yourself and it is read live and added for you, or propose your own project when you are approaching a supervisor directly.
Say it once, use it everywhere
One profile carries your education, research, publications, skills, referees and the story behind the ambition.
Every document is written from it, in your spelling variant and your tone. Skip whatever you are not ready to answer, a progress indicator keeps track, and the coach asks you for what is missing rather than inventing it.
Write with a coach, not a generator
Statement of purpose, academic CV, cover letter, motivation letter and research proposal.
It is a genuine back and forth: you talk, it drafts, you push back, it revises. Attach your old CV or a draft and it works from that. No template phrasing, no filler, no generated slop. Each stage unlocks the next so the application builds in the order a panel reads it.
Know how strong it is
Every draft is scored red, amber or green with the specific weaknesses named.
You see what a reader will hold against you before you send it, and the score goes stale the moment you edit, so it is always honest about the draft in front of you.
Stay on top of the admin
Transcripts, passport, English test, references and every deadline in one board.
A pipeline from shortlisted through interview to offer, an admission checklist you tick off as documents land on your computer, reference requests sent to your referees from inside the app, and email reminders before every deadline and interview, with per-category opt-outs.
Submit something typeset
Preview each document exactly as it will print, then export a clean PDF.
Properly laid out statements, a real academic CV, and the option to export the whole application pack as one file. What you preview is what the panel opens.
Blank page to
submitted, in four moves.
One
Build your profile
Ten minutes on your background, research and story. Skip anything you are not ready for and come back later.
Two
Choose a target
Save a funded advert or scholarship from the library, paste a link you found, or propose your own project.
Three
Draft with the coach
Work through the five documents, watch the strength score climb, and keep every word yours.
Four
Review and submit
A human academic marks it up, you apply the notes in place, export the typeset PDF and mark it submitted.
AI gets you a draft.
A person tells you
if it will win.
Send one document or the entire application to a real academic reviewer, tell them what to focus on, and the mark-up comes back into the same page you were writing in, with a summary letter you can revisit any time.
Passages highlighted
The exact sentences costing you, marked on the page. Never vague general advice.
Comments in context
Every note sits against the line it refers to, inside the workspace you are editing in.
Suggested rewrites
Where the wording is weak you get proposed replacement text to accept or adapt.
