About Scholars Planet
Closing the information gap between students and the opportunities meant for them.
Scholars Planet is a scholarship and opportunity information platform started to close one simple but costly gap: good opportunities exist, but the students who need them most often hear about them too late, or never at all.
Our story
Scholars Planet began with Samuel, a student who missed the interview for a $1,000 scholarship because the notification email arrived weeks late, and he had no reliable place to have found it sooner. That single missed opportunity became the reason Scholars Planet exists: so that timing and access to information are never the reason a student misses their chance.
What started as a WhatsApp channel has grown to reach over 3,900 students, with more than 2,700 benefiting from scholarships and over 3,000 benefiting from free digital learning and fellowship programmes.
Our mission
To close the information gap in education access by curating and delivering verified scholarships, grants, fellowships, competitions and learning resources to students who might otherwise never hear about them in time.
Our vision
A future where no student's education or career is limited by lack of access to information, where opportunity is determined by ability and effort, not by who happened to hear about it first.
Aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals
Quality Education
We work to ensure inclusive and equitable access to education by removing the information barrier that keeps eligible students from applying.
Reduced Inequalities
By reaching students regardless of location, school or existing network, we reduce the inequality in who gets to hear about opportunity.
Decent Work & Growth
Free digital skills programmes shared on the platform help students build capabilities that open pathways to decent work.
Registered and accountable
Scholars Planet is a duly registered organisation with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) of Nigeria, registration number 9901637, operating in the digital learning resources space. Our registration reflects our commitment to running this platform openly and responsibly for the students who rely on it.
A note on trust
We link to official application pages wherever we can find them. Deadlines and requirements can change, so always confirm details on the official page before you apply, and never pay anyone to apply for a scholarship.
