Ensuring better access to higher
education is a big part of our mission and purpose at The Scholar-y Hive. Giving prospective students transparent access to information is the way we empower the world to choose education. Our goal is to make sure no one misses out on education opportunities due to a lack of information. The Scholar-y Hive builds on this mission by creating targeted content for prospective students. It brings awareness, confidence and decision tools for ultra-accessible higher education that is affordable and as flexible as possible.
A lot of prospective students in Tanzania do not know about their education options or don’t believe they can access higher education at all. Be it due to financial and time constraints, structural barriers, or simply because they do not have the
confidence that their counterpart talented people are self-selecting out of applying to university. Access to information around higher education is not equal.
At the same time, new options and formats for higher education and support are being created at
an ever-faster pace. Some of them are low-cost, some are flexible, and others are fully digital. There are also tens of billions available in scholarships, of which a significant part goes
unused. So far, the solutions are not reaching those who need them.
Our Platform will break down that ‘information barrier’. We are dedicated to putting higher education for Tanzanian Nationals in the spotlight and giving students wider access to higher education. The “Hive” is going to build on its platform content and functionality to reach students who currently miss out on these opportunities.
