Welcome to the Tertiary Education Scholarship Trust for Africa

Our Objectives

The Tertiary Education Scholarship Trust (TEST) for Africa enables gifted students who would otherwise miss out on a university education to get a degree, both unlocking their potential and helping them contribute to their communities.
The Trust currently operates in Ghana, Malawi, Uganda and Tanzania.  
Sponsors include individuals and companies who believe in the power of education to make a difference to individuals, their families and communities

 

100% of donations go to fund scholarships ... zero goes on admin

 

The Trust is chaired by Dr Nick Brown, Principal of Linacre College,
University of Oxford.

 

Our Supporters

Over 1000 Scholarships awarded since 2008 to students who could not afford to go to University.  Scholars commit to staying in their country for 5 years after graduating to contribute to their community.  See inspiring stories at Our Scholars

 

One objective is for women to make up 60% of new scholarships
