Jonanda Kisingiri has been in the news, not only because she won numerous scholarships, but also due to her coming book: The Education Revolution: A Guide to Scholarship Success for African Students. This is a roadmap-type of a book, now available for pre-order at a discount, that would help students from Africa win meaningful funding toward studying abroad. Kisingiri’s quest to winning over $200,000 scholarships to study in Canada is a showcase of persistence, wit, and a very structured way of putting out scholarship applications.
Background and Inspiration
Kisingiri, a Ugandan citizen, undertook her secondary education locally before winning a scholarship to study in Canada in 2020. Excellence seems to run in her family; all her elder sisters also winning other ground-breaking scholarships to study in the US. The motivation to write the book was when Kisingiri felt there was a dearth of information that was easy to get and put to practice by any African student who wants similar opportunities.
The Education Revolution
Kisingiri separates fact from fiction about scholarships and sets aside oft-heard misconceptions, such as that a student has to have straight A’s to be able to get a scholarship. She shares practical pointers from her experience and insight that she drew from talking with those who award scholarships. Her book includes strategies for crafting standout applications and positioning one’s self for scholarship success based on her own successes and those of the students whom she mentored.
Future of Scholarships for African Students
Kisingiri says she is overly optimistic about the future of scholarship opportunities for students in Africa. The landscape seems to get favorable as more and more universities seek out international students. She insists on the issue of early preparation, an example recently depicted in her younger sister, who just won over $2 million to study in the US.

For students serious about major scholarship pursuits, Kisingiri offers training through her programs. She said interested students should read her book, then reach out to her for further consulting. Her approach caters only to students who can put a lot of work into their scholarship applications.
Upcoming Events
Besides the book, she will have her second Masterclass in Kampala this coming October, titled Breaking Barriers: Unlocking Million-Dollar Scholarships for African Students. It promises an event full of valuable insights and strategies for students looking to make substantial funding toward their education. Tickets for this exclusive event are available now
Jonanda Kisingiri’s story and upcoming book will go a long way in inspiring and empowering many African students in their quests for scholarships and other education opportunities that can transform life.
