Ashinaga Warwick Scholarships

Talented students from across Sub-Saharan Africa who have experienced the loss of one or both parents, or who have grown up with a single parent, will have the opportunity to study at the University of Warwick through a long-standing partnership with the Ashinaga Association in the UK.

Through this partnership, Warwick is pleased to support students selected via the Ashinaga Africa Initiative to study and live at the University for the full duration of their undergraduate degree, typically three to four years.

The scholarship is aimed at future leaders who demonstrate strong academic ability, leadership potential, and a clear commitment to contributing to the development of their home countries following graduation.
