The Mastercard Foundation has announced the launch of its Scholars Program 2025, a fully funded scholarship initiative designed to support African students in pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate studies. This prestigious program seeks to cultivate the next generation of African leaders by offering comprehensive support that covers tuition fees, accommodation, books, and other living expenses.
Beyond financial assistance, the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program provides mentorship, leadership development, and career guidance, ensuring that scholars are well-equipped to make significant contributions to their communities and beyond.
Eligible candidates must demonstrate outstanding academic achievement, leadership potential, and a strong commitment to community service. Through this initiative, the Mastercard Foundation aims to empower talented African students to reach their educational and career aspirations, thereby contributing to the broader development of the continent.
