Every year, thousands of applicants from developing countries apply for the limited number of international scholarships. Even greater is the number unable to apply owing to several constraints.
This initiative is inspired by experiences and conversations from recent and prospective scholarship recipeints. So we have teamed up to do ‘small things’ that would create a difference, knowing this:
“Do the little bit of good where you are ; it those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world” ~ Desmond Tutu
“You don’t have to influence thousands of lives to make a difference. Maybe we are called to influence a few people who will influence thousands” ~ Mark Batterson
“If you can’t do great things, do little things with great love” ~ M. Teresa
About us
This is an initiative of recent international MSc & PhD scholarship beneficiaries to support as many applicants as we can (especially from developing countries), to increase their chances of securing full scholarships globally.
A famous Chinese proverb – “To know the road ahead, ask those coming back” almost summarizes the objective of this platform, except it would be more fitting to say to know the road ahead, ask those looking back.
We provide a platform that simplifies the scholarship application process – listing fully funded MSc and PhD scholarships only; offering advice and reviews on scholarship application documents including personal statements, essays, proposals and a general guidance on the scholarship application process.
Our objective is to enable thousands of international students benefit from scholarship opportunities to achieve their dreams. We aim to provide an environment to connect previous scholarship beneficiaries and current applicants to gain insight on specific scholarships. See our comprehensive list of Frequently Asked Questions to help you navigate this platform.
Why this platform?
This platform is unique: We provide a comprehensive listing of only fully–funded postgraduate (MA, MSc, MBA, MRes, MPhil, PhD scholarship) opportunities for international students. The perfect scholarship that covers your tuition fees and living costs. That way, as an applicant, your journey of scouting through multiple websites with lots of unnecessary information and part-time scholarships is cut short! You now have all the time you need to give a full-time scholarship application your best shot.
Next, we are here to support you. Unlike most scholarship websites you come across, this one is run purely by scholarship beneficiaries. We know what it takes and can answer literally anything pertaining international scholarships! Please visit our Scholarship support page. Importantly, most of our support is free.

Eye opener

Fellowship application
“The webinars that I attended were extremely helpful in conditioning my mind for success beyond my lab career. I implemented the knowledge that I received therein and coupled with IGSI guidance, I bagged the IAVI fellowship. I strongly believe that IGSI initiative is a step in the right direction.”
Awuor S, Kenya
Most reliable platform for graduate scholarship opportunities
“Opportunities for students in developing countries to get international scholarships are available. However, finding them and coming up with a stellar application is always a challenge. IGSI posts authentic, fully funded scholarships and trains students on how to write excellent personal statements for their application. This is an amazing platform for many African students looking for scholarships. Kudos IGSI!!!”
