Lumina Scholars is a non profit private organization that supports education to the under privilleged children and youths from marginalised communities in Africa. With the support from  our  partners and sponsors in the United States and Canada.
Our main objective is to eradicate poverty in Africa through education by making learning opportunities available to all both at the primary level,high school, tertiary level, all the way to the job opportunities. We believe that education unlocks infinite possibilities,transforming lives,communities and the world.
Children and youths education is key to unlocking prosperity accelerating economic growth through inclusive interventions that drive productivity and innovation is critical and this can be achieved through education. Africa's youth population is growing and will increasingly become the world's workforce and this cannot be achieved without educational knowledge. It is estimated that by 2030 Africa will be home to the world's largest workforce with almost 400 million young people entering professional labour market. With the right skills,young people will improve their lives and also the lives of their communities. We focus in Africa on supporting indigenous children and youths in their pathway through education and to the meaningful world opportunities.
We work directly with parents, guardians,teachers , spiritual leaders  and general community to help us identify children/youths who need financial assistance through their education. The student is required to submit an application and an essay explaining why they need a scholarship. Once the application is received, our team reviews it to determine their qualifications.
The next step is to create a personalized program that fits the student’s needs and find matching sponsors. We also provide funding directly from the general scholarship fund via charitable donations from the founders and other supporters.
The final step is to award the deserving student the scholarships.
We want to make sure that we are only directing our resources to the deserving students willing to work hard and bring a change to the community.
Therefore, we do not end with scholarships;
Here’s what we do to make sure our students stay motivated to stay in school.
We sign every student with a mentor who checks-in with them and makes sure they have everything they need to succeed.
We also have occasional virtual meetings where we introduce our students to professionals in their fields of study to push them even further into achieving their goals.
