About Skillup Africa
We provide Student Loans for young Africans
By establishing a student loan program intended to help young graduates under 30 years of age, who do not have the financial means to pay for tech-focused short and medium term training courses.
This student loan program is focused on building a sustainable tech talent pipeline that will secure economic empowerment for the African continent through human capital development.
our Process
How
It Works
To apply for the student loan fill a short form in less than 5-minutes
Candidates will be sent an online aptitude test that can be completed in less than 1-hour.
Once you’ve passed the aptitude test, you will be invited for an in-person interview.
Onboarding includes induction, background checks, creditworthiness & completion of loan documentation.
Complete Course and Career Service Training which run concurrently.
After the moratorium runs out, candidates will be expected to start loan re-payment.
How Much Do You Need?
Skillup Africa student loans have various runtime cycles, based on the duration of the training period as offered by our training partners. We offer a moratorium that covers the duration of the training period, in addition to a 12 week period that allows students find a job.
Our student loans are provided at a 10% p.a. interest rate, which students pay in advance as a commitment fee.
You can use the calculator below to see total loan amount and monthly instalments that will be due. Current calculations are based on 12 month repayment cycle.
