Scholarships for African Students

A significant share of fully-funded international scholarships are specifically designed for students from African countries, reflecting long-standing government and donor commitments to education and development across the continent — including programmes like Australia Awards, the Commonwealth Scholarship, and DAAD, several of which list multiple African nationalities among their eligible applicants.

Because these programmes span many different national grading systems, from percentage-based results to classification systems like First Class or Upper Second, Oblanky compares your actual academic record rather than assuming a single grading scale. Eligibility, funding levels and required documents vary by provider and by your specific nationality. Use the checker below to see which currently verified scholarships match your profile.
