Scholarship Application
At Type Afrika, we believe type design education should be accessible to every curious and
passionate African, and not limited by cost or geography.
Our Scholarship Program offers free or partially funded seats to selected
students who demonstrate a

If you’re passionate about type, curious about letters, and ready to commit to the journey of
learning type design, we’d love to hear from you.
