Scholarships to Study in Zambia (2027) for International Students

Foreign students in Zambia need a study permit from the Department of Immigration for full-time or part-time study at a Zambian institution, with an acceptance letter, a medical report from a government facility and proof of the sponsor's finances. Issuing a study permit costs ZMW 9,090 and renewal ZMW 12,120, and permit holders may not take up paid work. At the University of Zambia, international undergraduates pay ZMW 51,363 to ZMW 77,943 a year, while SADC students pay the local rate.
