In an exciting development for education in Africa, RLabs Nigeria has joined forces with Study Access Alliance to introduce a transformative scholarship opportunity. This collaboration is set to offer fully funded three-year online Bachelor’s Degree scholarships at the prestigious IU International University of Applied Sciences, focusing on vital areas such as Data & IT, and Business & Management. This initiative is part of a broader effort to support financially disadvantaged students across the African continent, with a special emphasis on young women pursuing degrees in IT and technology fields.
The scholarships are made possible through the support of RLabs, UNICEF, and Generation Unlimited, within the framework of the Yoma programme. This partnership underscores a commitment to making quality higher education accessible to those who need it the most. The Study Access Alliance (SAA), with IU as its founding academic partner, ensures that scholarship recipients will earn a globally recognized bachelor’s degree online, fostering a new generation of skilled professionals ready to make an impact in the global workforce.
Prospective applicants interested in seizing this opportunity must meet certain requirements, including possessing relevant educational certificates and being residents of an African country. The ambitious goal is to award 2,000 scholarships by the end of 2024, with an ultimate target of 10,000 scholarships, marking a significant investment in the future of African youth. The application deadline is March 29, 2024, and candidates can apply through the RLabs Study Access Alliance portal on Google Docs. For more information about the available Bachelor’s Degree courses and additional details, please visit the RLabs website. This scholarship program represents a significant step forward in levelling the educational playing field, offering a ladder of opportunity to those who aspire to achieve their academic and professional dreams.
