Aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Every opportunity we share works toward closing the education access gap for African students.

SDG 4 — Quality EducationWidening access to scholarships, grants and skills training so cost is never the reason a student stops learning.

SDG 10 — Reduced InequalitiesReaching students who are furthest from reliable information, regardless of background or location.

SDG 8 — Decent Work & GrowthFree digital skills programmes that open real employment and income pathways.

Why Scholars Planet exists

Scholars Planet started with Samuel — a student who missed a $1,000 scholarship interview because the email announcing it arrived weeks late, and he had no reliable place to check for opportunities in time. Scholars Planet exists so no student misses their chance because the information arrived too late, or never arrived at all.
