What European Commission Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scholarship actually covers.
The European Commission Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme is a fully funded initiative designed to promote academic mobility within Africa, supporting Masters and PhD students as well as academic, administrative, and technical staff from participating African institutions to study at partner African universities in other African countries. The programme provides tuition waiver, monthly living allowance, travel costs, and health insurance. Priority fields include agriculture, climate change, engineering, and ICT, aligning with Africa's development goals. The programme requires applicants to be nationals and residents of an African country enrolled in or graduated from a recognised African higher education institution. Master's applicants should generally be under 35 years old and hold a relevant bachelor's degree; PhD applicants must hold a relevant Master's degree. This European-funded intra-African mobility programme is a powerful tool for building pan-African academic and research networks, strengthening continental universities, and developing the skills needed for Africa's economic transformation.
