5 Fully Funded Scholarships for Nigerians Closing August–September 2026

Chevening is a strong option, but it is risky to rely on one scholarship application. Several fully funded international programmes are also open to Nigerian applicants, with some deadlines falling between August and September 2026. The options include the McCall MacBain Scholarship at McGill University in Canada, the Rhodes West Africa Scholarship at Oxford, and ARES scholarships in Belgium. They support eligible master’s applicants with tuition, travel and living costs. Undergraduate and master’s applicants can also consider the ER.GO scholarship at the University of Bologna and the DSU regional scholarship at the University of Milan. These Italian awards are largely based on financial-need assessments and may provide tuition waivers, accommodation, meals and living support. Applicants should confirm eligibility, required financial documents and deadlines directly through the relevant university or scholarship portal. Which of these destinations best matches your academic plans?
