Frequently asked questions

Can I find scholarships by field of study on this site?

Yes — our field-of-study hubs filter the live database by subject, so every scholarship listed under Engineering, Computer Science, Medicine, Business, Law or Agriculture is currently open to African applicants in that field.

Are scholarships limited to one field of study?

Some sponsors target specific fields (e.g. Schlumberger Faculty for the Future for STEM women, Borlaug LEAP for agriculture). Many flagship awards like Chevening, Fulbright, DAAD and Mastercard Foundation are open to most disciplines.

How are scholarships matched to fields?

Our editors tag every scholarship with the eligible fields based on the official sponsor description. We never auto-match by keyword — every tag is verified by a human before the listing goes live.
