Digo Education Opens Applications for 2024 Scholars Consulting Program

Digo Education, a premier network of Ivy League graduate consultants, has launched its 2024 Digo Scholars Consulting Program.

The journey of applying to international universities can be fraught with challenges and uncertainty. Resource and knowledge gaps have students trying and failing to successfully complete often complex application processes that rely on insider knowledge to navigate. Digo Education aims to bridge those gaps and level the playing field with its 2024 Digo Scholars Initiative.

While applicants can benefit from their services throughout the year, this initiative aims to cater to low-income, high-achieving students who may not have the same opportunities.

With applications open until February 2024, students from diverse backgrounds can benefit from the invaluable assistance of Ivy League-educated Digo expert admissions consultants. With their support, applicants can craft compelling, coherent applications and maximise their chances of admissions success.

Co-founder Rowa El Tohami, a Sudanese alumna of Columbia University, a private Ivy League research university in New York City, has been through the demanding process of international admissions herself and believes that everyone, regardless of their background, should have the opportunity to harness the power of education.

‘Our mission through the Digo Scholarship is not only to enhance accessibility to elite educational opportunities but also to inspire and shape future leaders, fostering a sense of community and a commitment to giving back to our communities,’ said El Tohami.

The Digo Scholars Initiative seeks students dedicated to their communities whilst demonstrating academic excellence and enables them to best showcase these talents by helping strategise the application process including university list selection, project planning, narrative
brainstorming, interview prep, and scholarship assistance.

Students from Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia have already secured opportunities in Ivy League schools and other top universities such as MIT, UC Berkeley, McGill, and Imperial College London through this initiative. The objective of the Digo Scholars’ initiative is to instill within applicants the skills required to navigate their lives within a rigorous academic context. Built on the principles of discovery, introspection, equity, and educational access, Digo prioritises students’ unique experiences, with a particular focus on fostering Social-Emotional learning (SEL).

Digo has changed the lives of many Sudanese men and women, including Noura Hussein, the Sudanese woman whose conviction for killing her rapist husband four years ago caused an international outcry. Her case ignited the #JusticeforNoura campaign, which caught the attention of celebrity activists like Naomi Campbell and Emma Watson, who advocated for her release. With Digo Education’s help, she received a full-ride scholarship to Sudan’s leading academic institution for women, Ahfad University for Women (AUW).

While Noura was unable to continue her studies due to the ongoing war in Sudan, Digo Education remains an ally in supporting the continuation of her educational journey. Digo has helped Noura flee Sudan and are helping her relocate to a country where she can continue her education.

Digo Education is a premier network of Ivy League graduate consultants who possess raw coaching talent and have elite admissions experience at top US, Canadian, and UK universities such as Columbia, Cornell, Duke, and the University of Toronto. A comprehensive Black-owned platform that combines data-driven practices and personalised learning services, their mission is to empower students from diverse backgrounds, help them unlock their full potential, and secure placements in esteemed institutions worldwide.
