Master's scholarships for African students
A funded master's abroad is rarely decided on grades alone. Panels look at the fit between your bachelor's, the programme and what you plan to do with it.
This page gathers the master's scholarships in our database. Each fiche shows what is really covered, which countries are admitted and the blocking conditions, so you spend your time where your application has a real chance.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an admission before applying for the scholarship?
It depends on the programme. Some require prior admission, others assess both together. Each fiche states it in its conditions.
Does "fully funded" mean everything is paid?
Not always. Check the "What is covered" section: tuition, stipend, travel and insurance are not always included together.
How many scholarships should I target?
A small portfolio of well-chosen targets that fit your profile works better than one generic application sent everywhere.
