A Guide to Scholarship Success for African Students

Secrets from a full ride scholarship winner

Hi, I’m Jonanda

In 2020, I won a full-ride scholarship to pursue a degree at one ​of the world’s top 40 universities (and a top 5 in Canada). Since ​then, I’ve been coaching students on how to make university ​and scholarship applications, with most of the students I have ​helped achieving full scholarships to study abroad and the ​remainder receiving partial ones.


I founded Think Forward, a program designed to train students ​from a young age on how they can prepare in advance to be ​competitive for scholarships because I know from personal ​experience how difficult it is for many African students to fund ​their education abroad. Over four years of coaching students ​and through my own experiences, I have witnessed that schools ​are not preparing students to be competitive enough to achieve ​the success they need in gaining financial aid for their ​education. Through Think Forward, I hope to help students all ​across Africa create the future they want to live in.

Before our sessions I felt unsure of ​what the university wanted to see from ​an applicant considering there was no ​specific guide on how to approach the ​essay prompts. Now I am one of the few ​selected recipients of the President’s ​International Scholarship of Excellence at ​York University.


I can’t thank Jonanda enough for her ​kindness, support and patience during our ​scholarship application sessions.

Thanks to Jonanda's guidance, I secured ​admission to several universities in different ​countries, and ultimately, I found my place in ​McNeese State University's Honors College.


Her support has been instrumental in ​shaping my educational journey, and I am ​truly appreciative of her help.

Telling someone your own personal ​journey in less than 500 words can be ​nerve wrecking, especially when you are ​trying to sell yourself as worthy ​applicant. I was unsure of how to go ​about essays, statements and even ​Interviews. Jonanda’s coaching wasn’t only ​helpful towards me achieving a ​scholarship to attend United World ​Colleges in Costa Rica, but it boosted my ​confidence to apply to schools I had only ​ever dreamt about and I won over
