About New Scholars:

New Scholars is a social venture empowering African entrepreneurs to jumpstart not just their own ventures, but the economy of the world’s newest country, Southern Sudan, as well. It was co-founded by the one of the original “lost boys of Sudan” - the only one to graduate from Stanford- and a Silicon Valley born and bred young entrepreneur.
