Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme 2026 Africa (Fully Funded)

The Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme 2026 is a fully funded scholarship program funded by the European Union and implemented by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency under the European Commission. The program supports academic mobility for Master’s, PhD students, and university staff across African countries.
