ETS and Galvanize Expand Their Partnership to Widen TOEFL and Study-Abroad Access

ETS and Galvanize expand their TOEFL and study-abroad partnership

Quick answer

On July 21, 2026, ETS — the maker of the TOEFL iBT and GRE — publicly announced an expansion of its long-running partnership with Galvanize Global Education. Galvanize has been an official ETS partner since 2018 and is an ETS Market Ambassador for both the TOEFL and the GRE. The expanded partnership gives students exclusive TOEFL iBT registration discounts, AI-powered personalized test preparation, and end-to-end study-abroad and admissions support. You can read ETS’s announcement on the ETS newsroom.

What ETS announced

In its announcement, ETS described the partnership as helping “more students access TOEFL iBT discounts, personalized test preparation, and guidance throughout the study abroad journey.” The message from ETS was simple: more support, more access, and more opportunities for students around the world.

For students preparing to study abroad, that translates into three concrete things:

  • Exclusive TOEFL iBT registration discounts (up to 10%) available through Galvanize as an ETS partner.
  • Personalized, AI-powered prep for the TOEFL and GRE that adapts to each student’s level and pace.
  • Guidance across the whole journey — from choosing a test, to preparing for it, to university admissions.

A partnership since 2018

Galvanize began working with ETS in 2018, and the relationship has deepened every year since:

  • Official ETS partner since 2018.
  • An official ETS Market Ambassador for the TOEFL and the GRE — a distinction ETS extends to a small number of partners.
  • 1.2M+ students have used Galvanize’s test-prep apps to prepare over the past decade.

That preparation has helped students earn places at universities including MIT, Johns Hopkins, Imperial College London, ETH Zurich, the National University of Singapore, and the University of Toronto.

None of this rests on any single expert. Galvanize’s approach is built on a team, a preparation process refined over years, and technology that keeps getting better at meeting each student where they are.
