How can we help?

Search the questions below, or send us one of your own.

Accounts & verification

Choose Get started, enter your name, email and a password (at least 10 characters with a number and upper- and lower-case letters), and agree to the terms. We'll email you a 6-digit code to verify your address, enter it and you're in.

Check your spam or promotions folder first. On the verify screen you can request a fresh code with Resend (there's a short cool-down). Each code expires after 15 minutes, so use the newest one.

On the sign-in screen choose Forgot password?, enter your email, and we'll send a reset code. Enter it, choose a new password, and sign in.

If your email isn't verified yet, sign-in will send you to the verification screen instead. Verify your email once and you'll be able to sign in normally.

Your profile

No. Every section saves on its own. A section turns amber while it's partly filled and green once every required field is complete, so you can finish it over several sittings.

Typically your national ID, and your O-Level (and A-Level, if applicable) results slips. You can upload them from your profile; they're stored privately and only shared when you submit an application.

Yes, from the Personal Information section you can add or change your profile image at any time.

Applying to universities

Search or browse the listed institutions, open one, and start an application. Choose your programme, level, study mode and intake, then review and submit. Your saved profile fills most of it for you.

Yes, that's the point. You complete one profile and reuse it across as many applications as you like, each tracked separately on your dashboard.

Only verified institutions appear on Afrovarsity. Verification is required before a university can accept applications through the platform.

Scholarships & funding

Open Discover from your dashboard to browse scholarships. They're matched to what you're eligible for based on your profile, so you spend less time hunting and more time applying.

Browsing and discovering scholarships is free. Individual scholarships set their own criteria and any requirements are shown up front.

Payments & fees

When you submit an application, you can pay the institution's fee (plus a small processing charge) using Airtel Money, MTN MoMo, or a Visa/Mastercard. The exact amount is shown before you confirm.

Payments are handled through the mobile-money and card providers themselves, Afrovarsity facilitates the transaction but doesn't store your card details. You'll see each payment in your Transactions history.

Privacy & your data

You control it. Your profile is private by default, and an institution only ever receives the information you explicitly submit to it. We never share your data with third parties without your consent.

Yes. You can delete your account at any time. See our Terms for how data is handled.
