The UNICAF Online Scholarship Program offers part-funded scholarships for the 2026/2027 academic year to students worldwide who want to study online for a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD degree. UNICAF is an online education platform that partners with universities in the UK, the US, Europe, and Africa, among them Liverpool John Moores University, the University of Suffolk, and its own Unicaf University, and it has supported tens of thousands of students across Africa and beyond. Rather than a single fixed amount, the scholarship awards each applicant a percentage discount on tuition based on academic record and financial need, so a typical award reduces fees by roughly 30% to 60% and can be worth around €3,000 to €15,000 (est.) over a full programme depending on the course and university chosen. More than 40 online programmes are available, spanning an MBA, MSc Public Health, MSc Healthcare Management, BSc Computer Science, LLB Bachelor of Laws, MA Educational Leadership, and a range of doctoral and DBA options. Applications are submitted through the official UNICAF website by completing the online form and uploading the required documents; the application window is open on a rolling basis. Because the discount percentage, eligible programmes, and any closing dates are set per intake, confirm the current 2026/2027 award details and any deadline on the official UNICAF page before you apply.

The scholarship is a percentage tuition discount rather than a flat sum, and the exact level of funding depends on the applicant's academic record and financial circumstances. The award applies to online study only.

UNICAF assesses each application individually on two factors: the applicant's academic qualifications against the entry requirements of the chosen programme, and the applicant's financial circumstances. Together these determine the percentage tuition discount offered, so stronger academic records and demonstrated financial need can lead to a larger award. Providing complete and accurate documents, a clear motivational letter, and a realistic study plan supports a stronger assessment.
