DO Launches International Scholarship Bootcamp and One-on-One Intensive Mentorship

International scholarships are a fantastic opportunity for international students to secure funds for their study abroad plans. There are countless international scholarship opportunities for African students to consider as more universities have realised the importance of diversity in their student bodies over time.

But where do you even begin?

How do you decide which scholarship to apply for, which course to enrol in, and which important papers to gather?

We understand your confusion and frustrations, which is why our Career Network launched an International Scholarship Bootcamp and 3 Months Intensive One-on-One Mentorship Program.

As scholarship applications start this August, we want to hold you by hand and walk you through the application process, support you with invaluable resources and ensure you get selected.

In our drive to ensure your successful scholarship application, we will work with mentors to guide you step by step through the application procedure in line with their expertise.

The mentors are industry leaders and past awardees with amazing track records of excellence. Be rest assured they will get the job done.

Let’s introduce them to you.
