UK University of Lincoln Africa Scholarship

The University of Lincoln’s Africa Scholarship is designed to help students from across Africa access postgraduate level study at the University of Lincoln. The scholarship is offered as a tuition fee discount against the cost of a postgraduate taught programme commencing in the/27 academic year.

The scholarship is aimed at prospective students from Africa who hold a Conditional or Unconditional Offer from the University of Lincoln for a full-time postgraduate taught programme commencing in September or January. The page also notes that regional entry requirements equivalent to a 2:1 or 2:2 are available on country-specific webpages.

Eligibility includes having the required nationality or permanent residence in Africa and meeting academic criteria that determine whether the scholarship is valued at £5,000 or £4,000.
