  • WHY THIS EXISTS

Built by someone who did it the hard way – so you don’t have to

Dr. Igbalajobi received a life-changing government scholarship to study in Korea — as the only Black science student. That experience lit a fire. In 2020, he founded Scholarships Cafe to give every ambitious student the knowledge, tools, and support that once only existed behind closed doors.

“The difference is rarely luck. It’s preparation, positioning, and a strong application strategy. The Scholarship Accelerator is designed to help you develop that strategy.”

— Dr. Olumuyiwa Igbalajobi, Founder, Scholarships Cafe

It's the revamped, intensive edition of our popular 30-Day Scholarship Challenge — condensed into 14 high-impact days. You get 4 live Zoom masterclasses, 10 Telegram coaching sessions, and full access to the Resource Vault of templates used by students who've won at top universities worldwide

Undergraduate finalists, recent graduates, and Master's students seeking funding for graduate programs, research, or postdoctoral opportunities. Students from any country are welcome — our community spans 180+ countries.

Plan for 1–2 focused hours daily. Live Zoom sessions are at 7PM WAT. Telegram activities are flexible — complete them at your own pace within the day.

Absolutely. Day 4 is entirely dedicated to this. Many top scholarships use a holistic approach — your research experience, essays, and recommendations can far outweigh your grades. We've helped students win $300K PhD scholarships, the Mastercard Foundation award, and government scholarships regardless of GPA.

The Resource Vault includes: Scholarship Tracker, IDAN CV guide, SOP template, cover letter template, research statement guide, cold email scripts, and recommendation letter guidance — the same materials used by students who've secured over $3 billion in funding.

It's the evolution of it. The 14-Day Accelerator is more focused, more intensive, and more results-driven — with the same expert guidance condensed into a tighter, more actionable format. If you've done the 30-Day Challenge before, this will take you further, faster.

The program runs 4th–19th September 2026. Register early as spots are limited and the cohort fills up fast each edition.
