The second Ed-Tech Fellowship Programme, organized by Co-Creation Hub (CcHub) and the Mastercard Foundation in Nigeria, is now accepting applications.
CcHub announced in 2023 that it would be launching a US$15 million ed-tech accelerator effort in Kenya and Nigeria through an innovative partnership with the Mastercard Foundation under the Mastercard Foundation Ed-Tech Fellowship Programme.
The fellowship first supported 12 businesses in Nigeria and 12 in Kenya in 2023. Over the following two years, it plans to expand its support to 36 ed-tech businesses.
In its second year, the fellowship’s Nigerian edition is seeking fresh ideas from innovators with ed-tech solutions that have the potential to transform education from preschool to the workplace.
Startups need to be incorporated in Nigeria with a particular focus on Africa. Challenges in K–12, formal and informal education, school administration, higher education, corporate learning, and vocational skills training should all be addressed by their solutions.
Successful fellows in the 2024 accelerator programme will have access to a network of investors, coaching and mentorship from industry experts, and chances to network. Additionally, they will obtain $100,000 in equity-free funding.
The deadline for applications is February 17.
