CcHUB and Mastercard Foundation Launch EdTech Fellowship Cohort 4

Co-creation Hub (CcHUB) Nigeria, in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, is accepting applications for Cohort 4 of its EdTech Fellowship. The program will select 12 early-stage startups building inclusive edtech platforms to receive $100,000 in equity-free funding alongside a 12-month incubation programme offering mentorship, technical support, and access to ecosystem partners. Despite rapid growth in edtech across Africa, many students remain underserved, particularly in rural areas and among people with disabilities where connectivity and infrastructure gaps limit access to digital learning platforms. Cohort 4 specifically targets founders developing solutions for learners mainstream edtech has largely bypassed: people with disabilities, refugees, rural communities, young girls and women, and startups creating education data systems that fit real school workflows rather than pitch deck dashboards. Previous cohorts reached over 21,000 learners, including girls, rural students, and children with limited digital access. Applications close March 30, 2026 at futureoflearning.cchub.africa.
