Airtel Africa Foundation Opens Technology Scholarships for Zambian Students

The Airtel Africa Foundation will cover the costs of the fellowship, while the participating universities will manage the selection and verification process.

The Airtel Africa Foundation is offering scholarships to support deserving Zambian students from low socio-economic backgrounds who are pursuing technology-related undergraduate degree programmes.

The merit-based fellowship is open to new entrants and first-year students admitted for the 2026/2027 academic year to relevant technology programmes at two participating public universities in Zambia.

Eligible applicants must be Zambian students who completed Grade 12 in 2022 or later and achieved between 5 and 7 points at their first sitting. Applicants must also demonstrate financial need and must not be beneficiaries of another scholarship or fellowship.

Applications are open until 9 October 2026. All information submitted by applicants will be treated confidentially and used to assess eligibility.
