Learn Africa Postgraduate Scholarship Programme Introduction
For yet another year, the long-awaited Learn Africa postgraduate scholarship programme, a flagship of the Women for Africa Foundation, is back. With more than 10 years of history, the programme has reached the incredible figure of 350 female students from 35 different African countries. Many of them have successfully completed their studies in Spain or Morocco and have managed to successfully access the labour market in their countries of origin or have continued with doctoral studies.
In this new call for applications, the Women for Africa Foundation has made a solid commitment to doctoral scholarships –this is the year with the highest number of doctoral scholarships offered. In addition, the Foundation has kept up the trend of promoting academic programmes in STEM fields, adding innovative topics such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, food safety and sustainable construction, among others.
In this new edition of the Learn Africa postgraduate scholarship programme, a total of 76 new scholarships and 22 continuity scholarships are being offered, thanks to the unswerving commitment of the programme’s 50-plus collaborators, including universities, business schools and private funders such as GMV, ASISA Foundation and ANESVAD Foundation.
Undoubtedly, the success of the Learn Africa postgraduate scholarship programme is reflected not only in the number and variety of scholarships offered or in the impact that the Learn Africa experience has on the lives of its beneficiaries, but also in the wide range of partners involved in the programme, which continues to grow every year. Thus, for this new call, Learn Africa will have the honor of counting for the first time on the University of Almeria (UAL) and the ENAE Business School (Murcia); both institutions have started their journey in the programme with a strong commitment of two scholarships each.

- Only one application per person will be accepted.
Learn Africa Postgraduate Scholarship Programme Technical and academic requirements
- It is important to read carefully the information showed in the description of the studies you want to take, as well as on the university website (link attached to each scholarship), regarding the academic requirements.
- The beneficiary agrees to provide the host university with duly legalized, certified and translated copies of her university degree, academic record or any other required documentation. If you are selected, we recommend that you start the administrative process at the time you accept the scholarship, as the procedures you will need to take at the Embassy/Consulate and/or at the Ministries of Education or Foreign Affairs of your country may take long time.
- The beneficiary must also present a certificate issued by her university certifying that she has a degree that enables her to pursue the requested studies (master or Phd).
- If you apply for an online scholarship, you must have a computer properly equipped to follow online courses, taking into account the following aspects: Internet connection, web browser, operating system, desktop applications, webcam, Zoom/Microsoft Teams applications etc.
Learn Africa Postgraduate Scholarship Programme Language requirements
- Before applying, make sure you have the required language skills. A high level of the language in which the training is delivered will always be required (B2 or C1 depending on the host university). You must prove your language level through the presentation of an official language certificate or through a telephone interview with the university.
- If you are selected, you will receive a notification email and — probably — a phone call from the Women for Africa Foundation to inform you personally. You will be requested to communicate with the foundation’s staff in the language of the scholarship you have applied for.
