Craydel's AI helps African students access global universities—here's how Nigerians can benefit

Manish Sardana's Kenyan edtech platform Craydel uses AI to match African students with global universities and instantly check eligibility across 50,000+ courses. The system processes academic results in 5-7 seconds, removing bias from university selection while transparently showing scholarship opportunities agents often hide.

For Nigerian students seeking affordable overseas study, Craydel partners with European universities offering programs as low as $2,000 yearly—far cheaper than local private colleges. Sardana admits convincing students and parents to trust fully online processes remains harder than university partnerships, as behavioral change lags behind technological readiness.

The platform addresses a key inequality: agents withholding scholarship info to earn higher commissions. By making all data freely accessible, Craydel enables informed decisions. Sardana, who left a lucrative WPP career to build in Kenya, measures success by whether his family and users feel proud of lives transformed through education access.

Will you use AI-powered tools like Craydel to uncover hidden scholarships and affordable global study options, or continue relying on traditional agents who may not prioritize your best interests?
