About VarsityToolkit

Every student deserves the right tools to navigate higher education — regardless of where they come from or what resources they have access to.

Our Mission

VarsityToolkit was built to bridge the information gap that many students face when applying to universities across Africa. Too many students miss out on funding, apply to the wrong programmes, or simply don't know where to start.

We bring together scholarship finders, APS calculators, university directories, NSFAS guides, prospectuses and more — all in one free platform built specifically for African students.

What We Offer

APS Calculator

Calculate your Admission Point Score and see which South African universities you qualify for.

Scholarship Finder

Browse and filter hundreds of scholarships and bursaries across Africa, submitted by our community.

University Directory

Explore universities, their faculties, fees, application deadlines and APS requirements.

NSFAS Guide

A comprehensive guide to NSFAS — eligibility, how to apply, common errors and the N+1 rule.

Prospectus Library

Download prospectuses from universities across South Africa.

Reminders

Set deadline reminders and get email notifications so you never miss an application closing date.

Countries We Serve
