About INISA

Initiative Southern Africa (INISA) is a German Non-Governmental Organisation founded in 1995 with the mission to inform the German public on political, economical, social, and cultural developments in Southern Africa to create interest, deepen understanding and enhance contacts and exchange between Germany and Southern Africa. INISA is entirely independent and non-partisan, funded through membership fees and donations. Our members are country experts, researchers, students, and interested lay persons from both Germany and Africa who all share a common interest in Southern African affairs.

Initiative Southern Africa believes that tertiary education aiming at professional academic excellence and critical social engagement is vital for the development of African states and their societies. Taking into account the numerous obstacles African students are facing in pursuing their studies, many of them related to a lack of finances, INISA offers a grant award for students from Southern Africa.

About the INISA Student Grant

The INISA grant covers 75% of tuition fees and related costs (e.g. books and other study material; residence fees etc.) for the academic year of 2022 up to a maximum amount of Euro 3000 (or the equivalent in local currency).

Requirements

Interested students are to meet the following requirements

The applicant (m/f/d) should hold the nationality of one of the SADC countries;

What you should know before applying for INISA Student Grant

The grant is open to students of all subjects, but particularly we encourage applications by science, engineering, economics, and medical students.
Should the grant be awarded to more than one student the maximum amount will be split equally.
INISA requires the student to provide proof of tuition-related expenses with a fees account record, as the grant amount covers a percentage of these expenses and needs to be calculated on that basis before any payment is possible.
The grant will be paid directly into the student’s fees account at the University.
INISA requires the student to provide two reports on the progress of his/her studies in the year s/he is awarded the grant.
