Al-Azhar University Scholarships

Description

A government-funded scholarship program at Al-Azhar University, one of the world's most prestigious Islamic institutions. Key requirements: for the Bachelor's degree, applicants must hold the current year's baccalaureate with honors; their Arabic proficiency is assessed; and the application file must be submitted to the Togolese ministry in charge of scholarships. The coverage includes free tuition, university housing, and a modest monthly stipend; travel expenses are often the student's responsibility. Applications are submitted through the Directorate of Scholarships of the Togolese ministry or the Egyptian embassy. Togo and West African countries are eligible, with an annual quota allocated to Togo. The observed calendar indicates opening in May and closing between June and July, but the exact dates (opening and deadline) are estimates and must be confirmed on the official website or with the embassy. The reliability of this information should be confirmed via the embassy. Since the stipend amount is not publicly published, a value of 0 means the aid exists but is not publicly quantified (aid calculated on a case-by-case basis or fee waiver), not an absence of funding. No nationality restrictions are announced.
