Every year, millions of students in Africa get to miss out on several educational opportunities because of detrimental issues they face. Some of these issues include parental negligence, lack of developmental assistance and also the unavailability of financial aids.
Luckily, some other students have been able to avoid the aforementioned issues and most of them are always with the idea of studying abroad, where the educational standards are high. The unfortunate part here is that when they are up with the chance to further their education at some of the institutions or universities in these foreign countries, the costs ends up being their major limiting factor.
Travel costs, accommodation costs and all other costs of living are the issues these students eventually have to struggle with. Fortunately, most of the top universities in places like the United Kingdom, have various scholarship programs that are dedicated solely to help African students who do not have enough financial strength to keep up with expenses.
With these scholarships, African students can now get the golden opportunity to study in universities like University of Cambridge, Stamford University, University of Oxford, University of London, Imperial College, University of Bristol and many more.
