We exist for one reason: every African student deserves the same shot at a fully-funded international master's - without drowning in spreadsheets.
ScholarHub Africa started as one student's frustration: Roy kept a dozen spreadsheets of scholarships, missed two deadlines in a single cycle, and had no way to know which programmes he actually qualified for.
So he built the tool he needed - a directory where every record is human-verified against official sources, scored for profile fit, and trackable from research to award. Today it's growing into a platform for the whole continent.
