Applications are now open for the prestigious Loughborough Development Trust Africa Scholarship for the 2024/2025 academic year. This scholarship offers an incredible opportunity for students from Africa to pursue a postgraduate taught course at Loughborough University.

Understanding the Scholarship

The Loughborough Development Trust Africa Scholarship is a highly competitive award designed to support exceptional students. While the scholarship generously covers the course fees, you will need to arrange funding for your travel and maintenance costs independently.

• You must currently be domiciled in Africa.
• Possess an outstanding academic record (normally a first-class honours degree).
• Demonstrate a commitment to return to your home country after completing your studies.
• Show the ability and commitment to making a significant contribution to your home country upon your return.
• Have a full understanding of the costs involved in coming to study and live in the UK.
• Provide evidence of strong motivation and initiative to secure funds to cover the remainder of the costs involved.

Application Process

Please note, applications for the scholarship will only be considered if you are already holding an offer for a place at the University (this offer may be conditional or unconditional). Do not submit your scholarship application until you have received your offer letter. Make sure all parts of the application form are completed in full.

Ensure that your application is submitted by the deadline of June 14, 2024.
