ScholarshipHQ is Africa’s premier verified educational grants intelligence platform. We bridge the gap between world-class funding opportunities and exceptional talent.
Every year, over $500 Million in international scholarships and government bursaries go unclaimed or under-applied by qualified African students.
The existing landscape is flooded with expired spam blogs, fake WhatsApp application syndicates demanding upfront fees, and dead portal links. ScholarshipHQ was built to provide an institutional-grade, transparent registry where every single entry is authenticated directly from university registries and official foundations.
No deceptive intermediary portals or redirect loops.
We blacklist any program asking students for processing fees.
Every single grant listed passes a strict 7-stage verification protocol. We eliminate phantom deadlines, phishing links, and deceptive fees.
No more doom-scrolling. Our smart algorithms match students based on actual GPA thresholds, nationality, degree level, and funding requirements.
Tailored specifically for African scholars navigating foreign admissions, currency constraints, visa processes, and standardized test waivers.
We believe access to life-changing higher education funding should never be locked behind exorbitant paywalls. Basic search and discovery are always free.
From a weekend spreadsheet for university coursemates to Africa's fastest-growing academic intelligence network.
ScholarshipHQ was founded by a team of African Rhodes, Chevening, and Commonwealth scholars frustrated by how many brilliant students missed life-changing deadlines due to bad information.
Launched real-time institutional crawler and verification pipeline, indexing verified opportunities from NNPC, PTDF, DAAD, Chevening, and 50+ top universities.
Crossed 100,000 active monthly scholars from Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, and South Africa, facilitating over $45M in awarded international funding.
Rolling out AI-assisted Statement of Purpose diagnostics, direct university admissions partnerships, and real-time scholarship deadline alerts.
Our editorial and technical team includes former fellowship recipients, international university advisors, and software engineers.
