- Although the names “2025/26” and “2026/27” are in play, deadlines and when the offer must be accepted matter, so watch those carefully. The University states conditions for September and January intake. University of Lincoln
- Since this is a discount on fees, it does not cover living costs, travel, visa, etc. Those are separate. (No evidence that those are included under this scheme.)
For Someone from Pakistan / Similar
Since you asked, here’s how this applies if you are from Pakistan (or a non‑African country):
- If you are not from Africa, you are not eligible for this Africa Scholarship. It is specifically for African nationals or permanent residents. University of Lincoln
- There is a South Asia Scholarship for students from South Asia (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka etc.) offered by Lincoln. That is a different scheme, with different amounts
