Fully funded scholarships for African candidates
"Fully funded" is the most searched phrase and the most misread. For one programme it means tuition and stipend; for another, tuition only with housing left to you.
We list here only programmes whose coverage is complete according to the official source, and each fiche details item by item what is paid and what remains yours.

Frequently asked questions
Does a fully funded scholarship cover the visa?
Sometimes. Visa and travel costs are often included, but not everywhere: the fiche lists the covered items.
Are these scholarships harder to win?
They attract more applicants, so they are more selective. An application aimed at the right programmes matters more than the number of applications.
Can I combine it with another scholarship?
Many programmes forbid it for the same period. Check the rule in the fiche conditions.
