Booksmarte

Booksmarte exists to bridge the gap between Gambia’s talent and global opportunity.  We provide fully funded master’s degrees at the University of Sussex through a comprehensive support package that removes financial risk. But we go beyond funding: we build a thriving Gambian community in Brighton, offering mentorship, cultural support, and wellness initiatives to ensure scholars thrive. Our mission: Graduates return home as leaders, transforming Gambia.  This is education re-imagined—where access, community, and national impact intersect. 

Only 8.5% of Gambians access higher education.
We’re changing that—with fully funded master’s degrees at the University of Sussex.
No upfront costs. No barriers. Just opportunity. 

Educate one professional, transform a nation.
Every Booksmarte graduate returns to lead in Gambia’s critical sectors.
