The case for support

Why partner with SSSI

Information gap is the bottleneck

Most South Sudanese students who could win a fully funded scholarship never learn it exists. Partnering with SSSI closes that gap directly.

Reach without intermediaries

We work student-to-student. No middlemen, no recruitment fees, no inflated numbers.

Long-term cohort building

Partners gain a continuing relationship with a growing community — not a one-time activation.

Built on accountability

We publish targets, report against them, and share what is working and what is not.

Partnership tiers

Four ways to partner with SSSI

Academic Partner

Universities and admissions teams sharing programs and offering scholarship slots.

NGO & Community Partner

Organizations on the ground helping us reach students in remote and refugee communities.

Foundation & Donor

Funders supporting webinars, resources, and direct student aid.

Corporate Partner

Companies offering internships, mentors, or test prep sponsorships.

What partners gain

A focused, honest channel to South Sudanese students

Reach qualified applicants

Promote your scholarship windows directly to a focused, screened pipeline of South Sudanese students.

Honest applicant signals

Receive verified profiles — academic background, language test results, and motivation — not inflated marketing numbers.

Co-branded webinars

Co-host live sessions for your program with a Q&A from current and prospective applicants.

Long-term presence

A consistent, year-round channel rather than one-off recruitment events.

    Run the pilot

    Co-deliver and measure. We share results openly with the partner.

  4. 04

    Build year-round
