2012/ 2013 Aga Khan Foundation International Scholarship Programme for African Students

The 2011-2012 Aga Khan Foundation International Scholarship Programme application cycle is now closed and applications are no longer being accepted. Applications for the 2012/2013 academic year will be available starting January 2012.

The Aga Khan Foundation provides a limited number of scholarships each year for postgraduate studies to outstanding international students from developing countries who have no other means of financing their studies. Scholarships are awarded on a 50% grant : 50% loan basis through a competitive application process once a year in June or July. The Foundation gives priority to requests for Master's level courses but is also willing to consider applications for PhD programmes, when doctoral degrees are necessary for the career objectives of the student. Requests will also be considered for travel and study awards for PhD students doing their research in Third World countries on topics judged to be of interest to the Aga Khan Development Network.
