Scholarships
Matching funders with verified students
SEP-Scholarship connects high-performing but financially disadvantaged students in public tertiary institutions across Africa with individuals, organisations, foundations, and other funders willing to invest in their education. Students present their educational needs, funders discover and support deserving candidates, and student information is verified directly with institutions through established communication channels.
Each student is funded for a one-time or continuous tuition award ranging from USD $100 to $200, paid directly to the student's SEPAfrica wallet or their institution.
Connect
Bringing deserving students and education funders together.
Verify
Promoting transparency by verifying student identity, enrollment, and academic information with institutions.
Support
Facilitating scholarships and educational funding where it can have meaningful impact.
Impact
Recognising achievements and measuring how educational support contributes to students, communities, and Africa's future.
Our goal is to move educational philanthropy from informal giving to a structured, transparent, technology-enabled ecosystem — where every contribution can be directed toward a deserving student and its impact can be better understood.
