Up With Africa · Scholarships
A curated list of scholarships open to refugees and young Africans — from UNHCR DAFI to UNICEF Generation Unlimited. Verified, free to apply. Click any card for the full details.
A simple framework that has helped thousands of UWA-supported applicants land funding. Three steps that will save you weeks of wasted effort.
Filter by the level that fits your stage now — secondary, undergraduate, master's, or PhD. Not where you hope to be in five years.
Read the eligibility line before anything else. Saves hours of writing essays for programmes that won't accept your nationality, age, or refugee status.
The best scholarships are competitive. Applying to 5–8 increases your chance of acceptance dramatically. Reuse and adapt your motivation letter.
Tap any scholarship to see its full record — about, eligibility, how to apply, deadlines, and direct link to the official source.
Real scholarships never ask for application or processing fees. Be cautious of WhatsApp messages claiming you've won something you didn't apply for. When in doubt — ask UWA.
We help review your motivation letter, check eligibility, prepare for interviews, and avoid common mistakes. At no cost, in your time, in your voice.
