Where can international students from Africa find full scholarships?

I'm from Africa and looking to study abroad with full financial support. Does anyone have recommendations on universities or organizations that offer full scholarships for African international students? Any specific programs or colleges would be super helpful!

7 months ago

There are several universities and organizations that offer full scholarships for African international students. Here are a few examples:

1. Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program: The program focusses on providing access to quality education for African students who come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds yet show strong academic and leadership potential. This is a large-scale initiative that partners with several universities across the globe, such as the University of California, Berkeley, McGill University, and the University of Edinburgh.

2. Aga Khan Foundation International Scholarship Program: While not strictly bound to African nationals only, this program offers scholarships for postgraduate study for students from selected African countries.

3. Yale University: Yale offers need-blind admissions for all students, independent of their citizenship or immigration status, and pledges to meet 100% of demonstrated financial need for all admitted students. This can occasionally cover full tuition and expenses, dependent on an individual's financial situation.

4. United World Colleges (UWC): UWC offers scholarships to study at one of its 18 academic campuses located around the world. These scholarships are often full or partial and are based on financial need.

Remember, each scholarship has its unique eligibility criteria, application process, and deadlines. You'll want to conduct extensive research, explore all opportunities available, and initiate the application process well in advance to ensure your efforts are effectively directed towards securing full financial support for your education. Good luck!
