Read the full guide →A flagship scholarship is a high-profile, fully funded programme operated by a government, foundation or university with an established track record of funding international students — including Chevening, Fulbright, DAAD, Mastercard Foundation Scholars, Commonwealth and Erasmus Mundus.
Most flagship scholarships are open to citizens of every African country, but each programme defines its own eligibility list. We list eligible nationalities on every scholarship card and in each award's dedicated guide.
Acceptance rates typically range from 1–10% globally. Strong candidates start preparing 12–18 months ahead, secure two relevant referees, and apply to multiple flagship programmes rather than one.
Yes — and you should. Most candidates who win flagship awards have applied to three to five major scholarships in parallel. Each programme accepts your best, most-tailored personal statement; reusing material across applications is fine if you customise the specifics.
