Before a scholarship panel audits your application, audit yourself. These free tests check what you really know about applying for scholarships from Nigeria, Ghana and the rest of West Africa: how to spot a scam, how to write your documents, and what to prepare before a deadline. Each test takes about five minutes and gives you an instant score.
Every question is built from facts we have already checked on official scholarship, university and government websites for our guides. After each answer you see why it is right or wrong, with a link to the part of the guide that explains it.

De Auditor’s tip
Take the scam test before you start applying, not after you receive a suspicious offer. Five minutes now can save you hundreds of thousands of naira or thousands of cedis later. Share it with your younger ones too.
