ScholarTasks connects Kenyan students and graduates to real online writing jobs — essays, research, editing, and formatting — from clients around the world. These are flexible online jobs for students that fit around lectures: claim a task, write it well, and get paid straight to M-Pesa.
No agencies, no middlemen chasing you for a cut. You pick the work, you set the pace.
Tell us your strong subjects and academic level. Verification takes under a day.
Browse open jobs by subject, deadline, and pay. Claim the ones that match your skill.
Deliver original, well-referenced work before the deadline through your dashboard.
Once approved, payment is released to your M-Pesa — most writers are paid within a day.
Tasks are posted across subjects and formats — pick what fits your strengths and schedule.
Undergraduate to Master's level essays across humanities, business, and sciences.
Structured research with literature review, methodology, and referenced findings.
Business, engineering, and lab reports that follow strict formatting briefs.
Grammar, structure, and citation clean-up on existing drafts. Fast turnaround tasks.
Slide decks, summaries, and basic data analysis write-ups for coursework.
Source summaries and citation lists in APA, MLA, Harvard, or Chicago style.
We hold client funds before a task is even opened for claiming, so the money is already there once your work is approved. That is what makes these online writing jobs that pay daily rather than weeks later.
"I claim tasks between lectures at Kenyatta University. Last month I made enough to cover my rent from essay tasks alone."
"The M-Pesa payouts are the reason I stayed. I've used other sites where you wait weeks — here it's usually the next day."
"I specialize in research methodology tasks. Being able to filter by subject means I only take work I'm confident in."
They are freelance writing tasks — essays, research papers, reports, editing — posted by clients and paid out directly to your M-Pesa number instead of a bank account. On ScholarTasks every approved task is settled to M-Pesa, so you do not need a bank account, a PayPal account, or a foreign card to get your money.
Yes. There are no fixed shifts and no minimum hours, so these work well as online jobs for students balancing lectures, CATs, and exams. You claim only the tasks you have time for, and most writers start with one short task a day before building up.
Approved work is released for payout as soon as the client signs off, which for shorter tasks is often the same day. Longer academic writing jobs are reviewed within about two hours of submission, and the average payout time across the platform is 24 hours.
No certificate is required. You need strong written English, the ability to research a topic properly, and familiarity with at least one referencing style such as APA, MLA, or Harvard. Most of our writers are undergraduates, recent graduates, or postgraduate students.
Rates are shown on every task before you claim it, so you always know what you are earning. Short tasks typically start in the hundreds of shillings, while longer research and Master's-level work runs into the thousands. Nothing is deducted from the posted rate.
No. Creating an account and browsing writing jobs online is completely free. We never ask writers for a registration fee, a training fee, or a deposit before releasing tasks.
