Online Educative Platform, aptLearn has awarded scholarships in software development and other tech-related skills to African students.
Scholarships recipients were selected based on a computer-based test, skill, community involvement, and statement of goals and aspirations.
The scholarship grants free access to paid online courses and materials, thereby aiding students in their quest for learning software development. Over 6,000 recipients were chosen from all across Africa, with significant numbers from Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and Rwanda.

“We’re proud to be part of such an impactful cause, one that has the potential to positively shape thousands of youths and enthusiasts in the tech space,” said Mr Olaniyan.
The scholarship program was part of aptLearn’s initiative that aims to increase the number of Africans in tech and help fill an industry-wide gap projected to grow to 10,000 over the next five years. aptLearn offers a broad range of industry-leading opportunities and career paths designed to teach talented prospects to follow their passion for tech.
