Can I, as an Indian student, apply for the Mauritius-Africa Scholarship Scheme?

No, Indian students are not eligible for the Mauritius-Africa Scholarship Scheme. It is open to eligible citizens of African Union or African Commonwealth countries who apply for approved programmes, so you would need to look at other scholarship options for studying in Mauritius.

My Advice

Read each scheme's nationality rule first so you do not spend time on an award you cannot receive. Then confirm with the university whether a separate application, nomination or admission offer is needed, and check current coverage and deadlines before you apply.
