The African Scholarship Hub is an online portal which brings together students and providers of scholarships into one central scholarship portal.
The aim of our service is to make it easier for scholarship providers to market their scholarship programmes and to help students research scholarship opportunities and find relevant information about applying for scholarships.
The Hub is free to join for students and providers. It consists of:
Scholarship database in which
- providers present their scholarship programmes
- students can search for programmes that match their preferences
Website containing further information, e.g.
- students sharing their success stories
- list of participating scholarship providers
- useful resources (first-hand advice and tips).
Read about the scholarship database features and find advice below.
You don’t have to register to search for scholarships, but we advise that you do as search results will not be saved, also additional features are available after registration.
If you have a specific question you can check the below “Frequently Asked Questions” (FAQ) section.
