The Scholarship Platform for African Students and Scholars

What is Africademics?
Africademics, founded in 2019, is a non-profit scholarship platform for students, graduates, early
career researchers and youth in and from Africa. We share scholarships, fellowships and other
funding opportunities on a daily basis and offer personal support through our Scholarship
Ambassador Programme, which trains volunteers to become scholarship advisors and mentors.

Who is behind Africademics?


Africademics was founded by Lena Gronbach, a social entrepreneur and PhD student at the
University of Cape Town. Lena launched Africademics to support other young scholars in realizing
their dreams. Having been supported by the German Academic Scholarship Foundation
throughout her studies, Africademics is her way of giving back. She is supported by a growing
network of over 100 volunteers and Scholarship Ambassadors from across the African continent.
