NSAI
Scholarships, grants and R&D opportunities for Africa
NSAI continuously monitors 142 funding sources (Marie Curie, Wellcome Trust, Gates Foundation, Fulbright, ERC, AfDB, World Bank, Horizon Europe, OAPI, ARIPO and national African institutions) and matches every new opportunity against the user's profile: study level, field, country, project stage, language. The output is a fit score, an actionable summary and a reminder before the deadline. The platform is available on the web and through a free WhatsApp tier that works on a basic phone, with no app to install.

Deadline reminders

Scholarships, grants and research calls open to African researchers, students and founders do exist, but the information is scattered across hundreds of sites, published in French or English depending on the source, and deadlines pass before anyone spots them. Searching costs hours every week and assumes a solid connection.
A monitoring engine that centralizes 142 sources, a matching system that scores relevance per profile instead of dumping a generic list, and two ways in: the web for those with bandwidth, WhatsApp for everyone else.
- 01One feed for 142 sources instead of dozens of sites checked by hand
- 02A fit score tied to your profile, not a generic list of opportunities
- 03Free WhatsApp access, usable on a basic phone and a weak connection
- 04200-seat private beta in summer 2026, public launch targeted for Q4 2026
