Free for students. 400+ scholarships from 33 host countries. Every link is tested before the listing goes live. We don't promise outcomes; we make the search honest.
Eight scholarships from our database with the next-closing deadlines. Real countdowns, not arbitrary urgency.
Nationality, level, field, GPA, where you'd like to study. That's the whole form. No payment, no document upload, no marketing checkbox.
Our matcher scores eligibility, deadline fit, and field overlap to surface the 8–15 most relevant to your profile. Eligibility is yes/no — whether you stand a chance is for the committee to decide.
Apply on the provider's official site. Then track status — exploring, drafting, submitted, accepted — on your dashboard with deadline reminders 30, 14, and 3 days out.
Essay prompts, document checklists, recommender templates — built into each scholarship page. Students using Scholar Africa arrive at applications better prepared, full stop.
DAAD, Erasmus partners, technical universities — free tuition at most.
Ivy League, state systems, MIT, Harvard, Yale — mostly need-based.
One-to-two year postgraduate funding across 33 host countries.
Doctoral research awards with full stipend and tuition coverage.
Women-only programmes — leadership, STEM, postgraduate research.
Engineering, computer science, mathematics, life sciences, AI.
Every listing's application URL is tested before it goes live. We're building out the rest of the verification pipeline in public; the trust score on each scholarship page reflects what's actually been verified so far.
Scholar Africa was built for every ambitious student on the African continent. Whether you are finishing secondary school in Ghana, completing your undergraduate degree in Nigeria, or already working as a professional in Kenya looking to pursue a Masters abroad — Scholar Africa exists to help you find and apply for funding for your next level of education.
We serve students from all 54 African nations equally. Too many scholarship platforms are built for students in high-income countries, then bolted on to include Africa as an afterthought. Scholar Africa is built Africa-first — eligibility data, matching logic, and country coverage all designed around the real situation of African students navigating international opportunities.
A good match is not just about finding a scholarship that is open to Africans. It is about finding one where your specific profile — nationality, field of study, academic level, language skills, GPA, and financial circumstances — aligns with what the scholarship committee is actually looking for.
Scholar Africa's matching engine considers all of these factors simultaneously. That means you are not just told "here are 400+ scholarships for Africans" — you are shown a personalised, ranked list of the opportunities most relevant to your profile, with the reasons explained clearly.
The number of scholarships available to African students has grown significantly over the past decade. Governments, universities, foundations, and corporations have recognised both the untapped talent on the African continent and the systemic barriers that prevent capable students from accessing world-class education. Programmes like the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program, the African Development Bank's Japan Africa Dream Scholarship, and expanded Erasmus Mundus quotas have added thousands of fully funded seats specifically for African students.
At the same time, the information gap has widened. Most scholarships are advertised on provider websites, buried in government portals, or announced through academic networks that many African students do not have access to. Scholar Africa exists to close this gap — aggregating, verifying, and delivering scholarship information to every student on the continent, regardless of which university they attend or which country they live in.
Yes — completely and permanently free for students. You can create a full profile, receive personalised scholarship matches, save scholarships, track applications, and set deadline reminders, all at zero cost. There are no premium tiers, no subscription fees, no hidden charges for students.
Scholar Africa is funded through partnerships with scholarship providers who pay to list their programmes and reach qualified applicants. Students never pay.
When you create your profile, you provide information about your nationality, field of study, academic level, GPA, language skills, and preferred study destinations. Our matching algorithm scores each of the 400+ scholarships in our database against your profile across these dimensions.
Scholarships are then ranked by your match score, so the most relevant opportunities appear first. The matching updates automatically when we add new scholarships or when you update your profile.
Yes. Every scholarship on Scholar Africa passes a verification process before publication. We check that the scholarship is offered by a real organisation, that the application URL is live and points to the official provider, and that the eligibility details are accurate.
We also run regular re-verification checks and remove scholarships that have closed, changed significantly, or been flagged as suspicious. If you notice anything wrong with a listing, you can report it directly from the scholarship page.
No. Scholar Africa serves students from all 54 African nations equally. Whether you are from Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ethiopia, Ghana, Egypt, Tanzania, Morocco, Rwanda, Uganda, Senegal, Cameroon, Zambia, Zimbabwe, or anywhere else on the continent, you can browse scholarships open to your nationality.
Many scholarships are open to all African nationals. Others are country-specific. Our matching system surfaces the ones you can actually apply to.
Scholar Africa is a discovery and tracking platform — the actual application is always submitted directly through the scholarship provider's official website. We provide the verified link to each official application portal.
This approach means you always deal directly with the scholarship provider, with no intermediary who could interfere, charge fees, or compromise your data. We track your application status in your dashboard, but the application itself goes straight to the source.
Every page has a "Report an issue" button. Reports go to our review team within the hour. If the scholarship doesn't pass our verification (live URL, valid contact, verified organisation), it is removed and the warning is logged on your trust history.
Protecting African students from scholarship scams is one of our core commitments — POPIA and GDPR compliant, never sells your data.
