Scholarships for Somali students in 2026 — let's build a list

Funding is often the biggest barrier, so let's pool what we know into one living list.

A few starting points to research:

• Turkiye Burslari (Türkiye Scholarships) — fully funded, popular with Somali students.
• Chevening (UK) and DAAD (Germany) — for postgraduate study.
• Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program — across several African universities.
• Local and diaspora foundations that quietly fund students each year.

Always verify deadlines on the official site, and beware any "scholarship" that asks for payment. Add ones you've found or won below — your tip could change someone's life.
