Wageningen University Africa Scholarship Programme (ASP)

About this scholarship

The Africa Scholarship Programme (ASP) at Wageningen University & Research — a Dutch university ranked among the world's best for agriculture, life sciences, and environmental sciences — gives talented, motivated students from Africa the opportunity to pursue a master's degree at Wageningen while supporting capacity building across the continent. The scholarship contributes toward the cost of a Wageningen MSc; the precise value for the current cycle is published on the official programme page. Eligibility is specific: you must be a citizen of an African country, must have applied for an eligible Wageningen master's programme before the deadline and be unconditionally admitted to it, and must be an excellent student — typically with first-class honours or a GPA of 80% or higher in your bachelor's degree — with preference given to those who have not already obtained a master's degree. The selection procedure is by invitation rather than open application, so the practical route is to secure strong, unconditional admission to a Wageningen MSc and meet the academic bar; outstanding eligible candidates are then considered. Because the award is partial, recipients should confirm the current value and plan for remaining costs.
