How to Get Funding for a Campus Event.

On every campus, there’s a spark group of students dreaming up an event that could change perspectives, introduce new skills, or shape the next wave of innovators. From hackathons to speaker panels, and product showcases to fintech bootcamps, these events carry a big vision. But let’s be real, vision alone doesn’t foot the bill.

One of the biggest barriers student organizers face isn’t creativity or commitment—it’s funding.

Without resources, even the most promising ideas stay stuck on whiteboards and WhatsApp groups. And that’s a loss not just for the students, but for the future of tech in Africa.
