In a bold move to expand access to technology education across the continent, Axia Africa has announced the launch of its ninth learning cycle, Cohort 9, alongside a groundbreaking new initiative – the AxiaTech4All Scholarship, which aims to empower 100,000 young Africans to pursue careers in technology.
The program, now open for applications, will provide 10,000 fully funded scholarship slots to deserving learners, giving them access to premium tech training without the financial burden of tuition fees.
Building on the success of Axia Africa’s previous women-focused scholarship, which attracted over 21,000 applications and produced 2,000 successful graduates- this new phase represents a wider, more inclusive approach. AxiaTech4All opens opportunities to young Africans of all genders, backgrounds, and skill levels, reaffirming the organisation’s mission to democratize access to quality tech education.
Participants in Cohort 9 will have the opportunity to learn in-demand digital skills across key disciplines such as data analytics, product design, product management, and software development. Each course will include hands-on projects, mentorship from industry experts, and certifications through Axia Africa’s U.S.-accredited partner institutions.
Speaking on the launch, Olawale Samuel, CEO of Axia Africa, emphasised the organization’s commitment to inclusivity and impact.
‘The AxiaTech4All Scholarship is our commitment to ensuring that no young African with a dream in tech is left behind due to financial barriers,’ he said.
Since its inception, Axia Africa has positioned itself as a leading edtech organization focused on equipping Africans with future-ready skills through accessible, world-class education. With the introduction of the AxiaTech4All initiative, the organization aims to scale its reach and empower a new generation of innovators capable of driving Africa’s digital transformation.
Applications for Cohort 9 and the AxiaTech4All Scholarships are now open across Axia Africa’s official channels, with thousands of aspiring learners already signing up to begin their journey in technology.
