Organised by 1st CRT Management Services, EduLink Africa brings leading UK schools, sixth-form colleges, universities and international pathway providers directly to Nigerian students and families.
This year, participating institutions are offering scholarship opportunities of up to 75%, creating significant opportunities for talented students seeking international education for the 2026/27 and future academic years.
What Scholarship Opportunities Are Available?
Scholarships and awards vary by institution and may recognise achievement and potential across several areas, including:
* Academic Excellence
* Football
* Rugby
* Tennis
* Golf
* Sporting Excellence
* All-Round Excellence
Awards may range from 25% to as much as 75%, depending on the institution, the scholarship category, the student’s performance and the individual terms of the award.
Scholarships are competitive and are not automatically awarded. Students must meet the relevant institution’s admissions and scholarship criteria and successfully complete the required assessment or selection process.
Scholarship Assessment Day – 3 October 2026
A major feature of EduLink Africa 2026 will be the dedicated Scholarship Assessment Day, giving eligible students the opportunity to be considered for scholarships directly from participating institutions.
Date: Saturday, 3 October 2026
Scholarship Assessments: 7:00 a.m.–11:00 a.m.
Education Fair: 11:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.
Venue: Lagos Continental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos
Depending on the institution and scholarship, assessment may include academic examinations, online assessments, interviews, review of previous academic performance, sporting assessments or other institution-specific selection criteria.
Participating Institutions
EduLink Africa 2026 will bring together a strong portfolio of international education providers, including leading UK boarding schools, sixth-form colleges, universities and pathway organisations.
Families will be able to engage directly with representatives from institutions including Clayesmore School, Queen’s College Taunton, Ackworth School, Mount Kelly, Merchiston Castle School, Kingsley School Devon, St Clare’s Oxford, Cardiff Sixth Form College, Rookwood School, MPW Colleges, University of Plymouth, Kaplan International Pathways, Navitas and ONCAMPUS, among others.
Scholarship availability, eligibility and award levels differ between institutions.
More Than a Scholarship Fair
EduLink Africa is designed to help families make informed international education decisions, not simply to identify scholarships.
Throughout the event, families will have opportunities to discuss:
School and university selection
UK boarding education
Sixth Form and A-Level pathways
University admissions
International foundation programmes
Scholarship strategy
Student progression
Visa and immigration considerations
Students and parents can speak directly with institutional representatives about entry requirements, academic pathways, fees, scholarships and the suitability of different options for the student’s longer-term educational goals.
Who Should Attend?
The event is particularly relevant for families considering international education for students approaching secondary school, Sixth Form, foundation or university entry, as well as talented young people seeking academic or sporting scholarship opportunities.
Parents who are still exploring their options are also encouraged to attend. Meeting institutions face-to-face provides an opportunity to compare programmes, understand costs and scholarship structures, and develop a more informed education strategy before making significant financial or academic commitments.
Scholarship assessment places are limited and registration is required.
