While it initially focused solely on Africa, it has since expanded its scope to offer scholarships like the UNICAF Postgraduate Scholarship to students worldwide who meet certain eligibility criteria. Unicaf has branch campuses and learning centres throughout Africa, including Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Egypt, Morocco, South Africa, Zambia, and Malawi.
Over 45,000 people have already taken advantage of the Unicaf scholarships and enrolled in one of the partnership programs.
