Free GRE and TOEFL Vouchers for African Students

Unlock your potential with 8B Education Investments and ETS

8B Education Investments is proud to partner with ETS–the makers of GRE and TOEFL exams–to award 3,000 free discount vouchers over a period of 3 years to eligible African students. 8B Education enables ambitious but underserved African students to access global education by providing them with the tools to find the right universities, the financing needed to enroll, and the mentorship required to attain their highest potential.

Benefits

The TOEFL exam evaluates the English language proficiency of individuals who are not native speakers. With a presence in over 200 countries, the exam is accepted by more than 11,500 institutions globally. On the other hand, the GRE exam assesses the academic aptitude of master's and doctoral program aspirants. Accepted by thousands of institutions, including over 1,200 business and law schools, the GRE is a widely recognized standardized test.

Barriers Posed by Exam Registration Fees

Fees associated with these exams present a significant barrier to accessing higher education for many students. The cost of the GRE General Test is approximately $205, while the TOEFL iBT test is around $180, making it challenging for students from low-income households to afford. 8B is working to alleviate the burden of these fees to empower more students to pursue robust educational opportunities, ultimately promoting economic growth and development.

Important Note: As of December 2023, all GRE Vouchers have been issued. New applications for GRE Vouchers will NOT be reviewed until September 2024. TOEFL Voucher codes are still available and will be issued on a rolling basis.
