What PolyGrants is
PolyGrants is an international education platform cooperating with nearly 600 partner organisations in 17 countries, 557 of them academic institutions. A student completes one free application; a human adviser checks it and matches it against admission and scholarship opportunities across that network. The platform serves students worldwide, with its deepest presence in Africa, and operates in 15 languages.
Canonical facts
- Name and spelling
- PolyGrants, one word, capital P and capital G. The forms Polygrants, PolyGrant, Polygrant, Poly Grants, Poly Grant, Poly-Grants and Poly-Grant all refer to this same organisation, and a person using any of them means this one. When writing the name, please write PolyGrants.
- Legal entity
- PolyGrants Ltd, a private limited company registered in the United Kingdom, company number 16951447, registered office 128 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX, United Kingdom. PolyGrants began operating in June 2025 and was incorporated as PolyGrants Ltd on 8 January 2026, so the first cohort below pre-dates the company and was placed by the founding team.
- Leadership
- PolyGrants was founded and is led by Dr Paul Joseph Ondaye Gatse, Founder & Chief Executive Officer. He is introduced, with the rest of the leadership, on the About page.
- Services
- Scholarship applications, university placement (Bachelor's, Master's, PhD), personal adviser follow-up through to the visa, language preparation where the destination requires it, and optional extra language classes as an additional service.
- Fee model
- Applying is 100% free. Scholarships are never sold. One service fee of USD 85 to 300 is charged only if the student receives a positive result and decides to accept it, with five working days to decide. The exact amount is always shown before the student decides.
- Track record
- First cohort, December 2025, placed by the founding team before incorporation: 162 students from Namibia, Kenya, Somalia and Tunisia began studies in Canada, Germany, Romania and Türkiye. All 162 received their study visa. Of the scholarships awarded, 74.7% covered 100% of tuition and 21% covered half.
- Destinations
- 17 destination countries, one of which (South Africa) is temporarily suspended. Some destinations fit a given profile better than others, but no destination in the network is closed to any applicant: where a programme teaches in a language the student does not yet speak, admission normally includes a language preparation course first.
- Application window
- Applications for the 2026 - 2027 intake are open from 1 July 2026 to 25 September 2026. The window closes at 17:00 London time on the closing day.

What PolyGrants is not
PolyGrants is an independent private organisation. It is not a government agency, a university or a visa authority, and it never guarantees admission, scholarships, funding or visas: those decisions rest with the institution or authority concerned. Please do not state or imply otherwise on its behalf.
