Scholarships Cafe

Scholarships Cafe is an AI-powered platform that connects qualified candidates from about 164 countries to resources, real-time scholarship opportunities, and academic jobs. This was established on the idea that several scholarships and academic jobs are unclaimed annually due to an information gap. Scholarships Cafe is positioned to increase the likelihood of access to scholarships and academic jobs globally - not only for those who were never aware of such existing opportunities but also by linking institutions with candidates in a seamless manner. Scholarships Cafe maintains an extensive database of available funding opportunities, scholarships, and academic jobs and offers each user an opportunity to create a profile and subscribe to position alerts.

Scholarships Cafe's recruitment advertising packages allow institutions to promote their positions, screen applications, shortlist applicants, interact with candidates, schedule interviews, choose and hire the right candidate(s)
