Africa Initiative for Governance (AIG) Scholarships for Study in the University of Oxford, UK (Fully Funded) – 2022/2023

The AIG Scholarships were established in 2017 to offer a once-in-a-lifetime chance for outstanding West Africans interested in pursuing a career in public service to study for a Master of Public Policy at the University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government. Since 2017, twenty-seven (27) scholarships worth more than £50,000 have been given to future public sector executives who have shown a commitment to the industry.

AIG Scholars spend a year at one of the world’s best institutions, learning from great academic professors and experienced practitioners while also networking with other future public sector leaders from across the globe. Scholars return to their nations after finishing their degrees and use what they’ve learned to improve policies, promote reforms, and contribute to their country’s growth.

From 2022 onwards, the AIG Scholarships will only be available to candidates who are currently employed in the public sector. Applicants should be between the ages of 25 and 50, with a high intellectual capability, shown leadership skills, and a desire to contribute to Africa’s public sector growth.
