Apply for 4th Annual GRE Scholarship Programme for African Graduates

For many African graduates, pursuing a Master’s or PhD abroad can be a life-changing opportunity. However, the cost of standardized tests such as the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) can create a significant financial barrier.

The GRE is required or accepted by many graduate programmes worldwide, but its cost—often running into hundreds of dollars—can be challenging for talented graduates who are already facing financial constraints.

To help reduce this barrier, the Career Academic Building Leadership and Enterprising Youth (CABLE), in partnership with DRAGNET, is launching the 4th Annual GRE Scholarship Programme.

The programme is designed to support high-achieving African graduates by covering the cost of the GRE and helping them take an important step toward pursuing graduate studies.

Who Should Apply?

This opportunity is ideal for African graduates who:

Have strong academic credentials.
Are interested in pursuing a Master’s or PhD.
Plan to pursue graduate education locally or internationally.
Have aspirations for academic and professional growth.
Need financial support to cover the cost of the GRE.
