The SOAS University of London in the UK announced the Allan and Nesta Ferguson Scholarship 2020. Three Allan and Nesta Ferguson Scholarships have been established for African Students (African nationals and residents in Africa), who wish to undertake a taught masters course at SOAS. The Ferguson scholarship is awarded on the basis of academic merit. Students offered an Allan and Nesta Ferguson Scholarship must take it up in the academic year 2019/20 and it cannot be carried forward to a later year.

Scholarship Amount:

Each Allan and Nesta Ferguson Scholarship covers tuition fees in full and provides a maintenance grant of £7,000.
In addition to this, the International Student's House (ISH) provides free accommodation and a food scholarship. The scholarship recipient must reside at the International Student House during the whole of your course. ISH is an independent educational charity that runs a large student hostel near the School, together with social facilities for international students in London. It has a close association with the University of London.
