Soka University of America gives one of these awards a year, and it is among the most complete in the directory. It covers the entire cost of attendance, which the university spells out as tuition, room and board, and the indirect costs of travel, personal expenses, books and supplies. On top of that it pays one roundtrip airfare, a one way ticket out in the first year and a one way ticket home in the last.
The qualifying fact is where a student finished school. The recipient must have graduated from a high school in an African nation, so a Nigerian national educated in London falls outside it while a student of any nationality who finished school in Lagos is inside it.
The university looks for a student who is outstanding in both character and academic standing and who would struggle to study there for financial reasons, so this reads as both a merit and a need award. There is no separate form. Eligibility is worked out from the admissions and financial aid application, which means the effort sits in applying to Soka well rather than in chasing the scholarship.
