Application form

Misongi’s mission is to assist highly talented and motivated students to negotiate and finance the admissions process for colleges and universities in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The aim is to produce highly skilled and widely educated leaders to solve the world’s most complex challenges.
Many determined and talented students in Africa lack maximum financial resources and access to information to better their educational future. For this reason, Misongi seeks to identify highly academically qualified and motivated Senior Secondary students in Africa to join the 2024-2025 Cohort of the Misongi College Access Program.
During this one-year program, Misongi works closely with students through regularly scheduled boot camps, meetings, and seminars to assist them throughout their college application process. The primary goal is to help our scholars secure admissions into the best universities in the world. Misongi expects a sincere commitment of students to give back their energy and time to the program, and to their communities and to be the best they can be. Selected students will be part of a global network of students and professionals from 17 countries and four continents. Applicants are welcome from all parts of the world.
