Shadrack’s FCRUSS Principles helped me craft successful applications for both undergraduate and postgraduate. He stressed the importance of having the right mindset, and that was so key!
HIGH SCHOOL: Wesley Girls, Ghana | UNDERGRAD OFFERS: MIT, Stanford, Cornell, Columbia (Comp. Sci; Engineering) | GRAD OFFERS: Harvard, Stanford, Cornell | MONETARY VALUE: $1.5million+ -
I went from not believing in myself to getting into U.S. universities on full scholarships. Thanks to Shadrack’s guidance with his FCRUSS Principles – I can’t recommend them enough.
HIGH SCHOOL: Kumasi Girls, Ghana | UNDERGRAD OFFERS: Tougaloo College, Philander Smith | INTERNSHIPS AND FELLOWSHIPS: BlackRock, JP Morgan Chase & Co., Goldman Sachs | POST-GRAD JOB: BlackRock | MONETARY VALUE: $1million+ -
The University of Pennsylvania’s President Engagement Prize is so utterly competitive that we didn’t think we would win any of those $150,000 prizes. We had an amazing idea and record of impact – and Shadrack’s advice pushed us to stand out of the crowd to win it!
PRIZES WON: $150,000 President’s Engagement Prize, University of Pennsylvania | TOTAL VALUE: $250,000 -
Shadrack’s guidance was invaluable in crafting a winning application that helped me get an offer for the Gates Cambridge Scholarship! I’d highly recommend these resources to help you weave together a compelling application!

Invest in your future, and you're also helping Ghanaian students
My values lie in helping as many people as I can just as others have helped me to where I am today – my entire educational career has been made possible, thanks in part to scholarships. And this is a reason I created this affordable course for you to pay it forward – to reach the many young aspiring leaders who need it. We’re keeping the cost as low as possible to cover our admin and operating fees, and to keep our 270+ students in rural Ghana, in school! Also, one of our kind anonymous donors will match every purchase of the course as a donation to our partner non-profit, Cocoa360. (ICYMI: I founded Cocoa360 to give rural farming communities in Ghana leverage revenues from their own resources such as cocoa towards their educational and healthcare expenses.) Yes, you read that right: investing in this course will also simultaneously support the futures of young students just like you in Ghana!
Questions and Answers
Over the years, I have assisted many young people to secure places at their top universities like Harvard, and Yale, and scholarships like the Gates-Cambridge, as I have done. I was always happy to help, and still am. However, the challenge of my life’s demands and time constraints make it impossible for me to help everyone for free 1-to-1 nowadays. But worry not: the advice and guidance that I was giving were a set of themes and principles that I have now extracted for you! This course packages up those six (6) principles so that you can access them at your own convenience, anywhere in the world, and to jumpstart and advance your academic and professional careers for the greater good of our world.
As much as I would love to provide this to you for free, I’m afraid that’s just not possible. There is a cost in labor of getting this course created for you, as well as the website and admin. The price is kept as low as possible to cover those expenses and to support our partner non-profit, Cocoa360 – proceeds from your purchase will help keep 270+ students in rural Ghana in school. And what’s more? 100% of your purchase being matched by an anonymous Cocoa360 donor.
Hi, I'm Shadrack
Pleased to make your acquaintance! 
I’m a social entrepreneur, academic and global health leader. I come from very humble beginnings – I grew up in a home with no running water or electricity and my parents were farmers. When I was nine years old, I nearly lost my legs to a serious infection and told myself “If I can keep these legs, then I will use them and work to help other people.” Thankfully I did fully recover and still have both my legs, and so I was driven to really focus on my education so that I may one day help solve some of the challenges in my community back home.
My dreams were big and took me to study abroad in top universities in the USA including the University of Pennsylvania and Yale University. Nowadays, you can find me at the University of Cambridge pursuing a PhD as a Gates-Cambridge Scholar, in Ghana and the United States supporting the amazing teams at two entities I’ve founded; Cocoa360, a non-profit and 1Villager, a software company. Should you see me in Europe, chances are, I may be on a speaking engagement! You can learn more about my journey here.
But again, this is about you because our world needs you! Let’s get you moving towards your dreams too! See how.
