We back Ugandan students who are already building something — with scholarship support, hands-on mentorship, and seed capital to grow it while they study.
Entreprehustle Scholar exists because tuition and ambition shouldn't compete with each other.
Entreprehustle Scholar is a scholarship and mentorship program for secondary and university students across Uganda who are running — or want to start — a small business alongside their studies.
Instead of choosing between staying in school and growing a hustle, scholars get tuition support, a mentor who has built something similar, and a small seed grant to put toward their business.
The program runs in cohorts. Each cohort moves through a structured track — training, mentorship pairing, and a pitch — before scholars graduate into an alumni network they can keep drawing on.
Placeholder for; real mission statement, founding story, and any partner organizations once available.
