Scholarships for Masters in Equity & Merit at the University of Manchester (UK) in 2023–2024

 Academically outstanding students from Sub-Saharan Africa who have the ability to significantly contribute to sustainable development in their native countries are given Equity and Merit Scholarships each year by The University of Manchester.

The greatest young brains on the planet have the potential and motivation to make a difference in the various developmental issues that nations throughout the world confront. They are assisted in doing this by our equity and merit program.

From power engineering to global urban development, each postgraduate programme has been developed with the unique circumstances of these nations in mind and aims to solve the skills gaps that exist there. The scholarships enable young professionals from the Global South to progress themselves and larger society while addressing the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The University and its donors collaborate to fund the scholarships. The University fully covers students' tuition costs, and the kindness of our benefactors covers the cost of living, travel to the UK, and visas.

The recipients of the grants are individuals who wouldn't be able to afford to attend school in Manchester without a scholarship. We adhere to an equal opportunity policy, and each application is evaluated on its own merits. Women are especially encouraged to apply.

We provide two categories of scholarships:

• full-time, on-campus master's degree program
• Master's degree through part-time remote learning, lasting three to five years.

Almost 39 scholarships are available for a variety of programs in engineering, environment, health sciences, development, education, textiles, and law (29 for full-time study and ten for online study). Applicants from Ethiopia, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe are eligible for the program.
