Worum geht es im Projekt?
Africademics, founded in 2019, is a scholarship platform and community for students, early career researchers and young professionals in and from Africa. Through our Scholarship Ambassador Programme we aim to build a network of volunteers who support prospective scholarship applicants as advisors and mentors. This includes finding the right scholarship or fellowship, preparing application documents, and applying for scholarships and other opportunities. Through a self-paced online course, comprising virtual lectures, case studies and additional activities, volunteers are provided with the necessary tools and knowledge. The training, as well as the consultations with and support of scholarship seekers and applicants, take place online.
We also publish daily updates about scholarships, fellowships, training courses, career development and other academic opportunities. Over 30,000 followers and subscribers in Africa and beyond have joined the Africademics community since its foundation.
