    🎯 WHAT COULD YOU LEARN WITH AN ALTSCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP?

    Don’t Just Think About the Scholarship. Think About What It Could Do for Your Career.

    A scholarship isn’t valuable simply because it saves you money.

    It’s valuable because it can remove the financial barrier between you and a skill that could change your career.

    💰 THE SCHOLARSHIP COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE

    Imagine finding a programme you genuinely want to take…

    Then discovering that a scholarship could cover part or even all of the tuition.

    AltSchool’s scholarship programme has previously included awards ranging from 30% and 40% partial tuition support to 50%, 70% and 100% tuition scholarships, depending on the particular fund.

    Some opportunities are specifically designed for Nigerians or other African learners, while others have their own eligibility requirements.

    ⚠️ ONE IMPORTANT THING

    A scholarship is not automatically granted simply because you apply.

    AltSchool states that scholarship applicants generally need to have passed its entrance assessment and meet the requirements of the specific scholarship fund. Scholarship availability also changes over time.

    That is why checking the specific scholarship requirements matters.

    🚨 Don’t Assume You Have to Pay Full Price.

    Before you commit to paying the full tuition…

    Check whether you could qualify for scholarship support.

    You could potentially reduce your tuition substantially — or, depending on the scholarship available and your eligibility, have the tuition fully covered.

    🎓 READY TO CHECK?

    YOUR NEXT OPPORTUNITY COULD BE CLOSER THAN YOU THINK.

    If you’re Nigerian, African, a recent graduate, a student, a career switcher, an aspiring tech professional or simply looking to acquire a valuable digital skill, there may be an AltSchool scholarship opportunity worth exploring.
