Being a prestigious tool of financial assistance, it is preferred by students. Here we have summarized some scholarships for Benin students. The University of Abomey-Calavior UAC earlier known as the National University of Benin is the largest and the oldest only public higher education university in the country. The university encompasses several faculties, professional and technical colleges, teacher training schools, and post-university institutions.
The government of Benin considers education sector as a priority sector and spends more on education than defense, and has cultivated an active intellectual community. Now, there has been a sharp increase in the number of public and private institutions at all levels. Many Benin students are being awarded scholarships for studying abroad. Among them Fullbright grants is a most prominent scholarship which is awarded to study at USA. It is awarded half for lecturing, and the other half for research or a combination of research/lecturing. Australian Government Scholarships(ADS), PhD in Climate Change Economics at WASCAL, Germany and Graduate (PhD) Research Program in Climate Change and Agriculture, Africa etc are scholarships which are available for Benin students to study abroad.
