GREAT Scholarship Egypt: Scholarship for African Students

The GREAT Scholarship programme offers Egyptian students £10,000 towards their tuition fees for one-year taught postgraduate courses at UK universities for the 2026-27 academic year. Jointly funded by the UK government's GREAT Britain Campaign, the British Council, and participating UK universities, the programme supports the most talented Egyptian students in accessing world-class British postgraduate education. The UK and Egypt have strong historical educational ties, and this scholarship reinforces those connections while investing in Egyptian human capital development. Over 140 scholarships are available across more than 60 UK universities, covering subjects from engineering and sciences to business, social sciences, arts, and humanities. Egyptian scholars gain globally recognised UK qualifications, advanced research skills, and access to extensive professional networks. The scholarship aims to support the development of future Egyptian leaders who can apply their internationally gained expertise and knowledge to drive forward Egypt's Vision 2030 and broader national development goals. Applications are managed through individual university scholarship portals.
