[Updated 8 February 2021]
I have three lists of scholarships and grants for African academics: one for MA and PhD study in Anglophone countries, one for Francophone countries, and one for post-doctoral and research funding. If you know of other scholarship resources I should add here, please let me know!
The following sites are also great resources for scholarships.
- AuthorAID
- Africademics
- Africa Desk
- AfterSchoolAfrica
- Advance Africa
- Doing a PhD in Africa
- International Scholarships
- Opportunities for Africans
- Opportunity Desk
- Scholars4Dev
- Scholars Hub Africa
- We Make Scholars
I’ll note here that I get a lot of requests from people asking me to help them get a scholarship. I’m not affiliated with any of the universities or scholarship providers listed here. I can’t provide individualized recommendations for scholarships. I can review a limited number of social science scholarship applications as my schedule permits.
