Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program at the University of Cambridge
The Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program at the University of Cambridge is a prestigious and fully funded scholarship opportunity designed to support talented and academically driven students from Africa. The program is part of a global initiative to provide academically talented yet economically disadvantaged young people with access to quality education and leadership development.
This program is aimed at supporting students who are committed to giving back to their communities and contributing positively to the development of their home countries. Through this initiative, the University of Cambridge is working in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation to identify and train the next generation of transformative leaders from across the African continent.
Successful applicants will benefit from full financial support to study at Cambridge. This includes coverage of tuition fees, accommodation, travel costs, and a living stipend for the duration of their degree program. In addition to financial support, scholars will also participate in mentoring programs, leadership training, and community engagement activities designed to nurture their personal and professional development.
To be eligible for this program, applicants must be nationals of African countries and must demonstrate both academic excellence and a commitment to creating positive change in their communities. Candidates are typically expected to have faced significant financial barriers and must be able to clearly articulate their vision for how they intend to contribute to the development of Africa after completing their studies.
The program accepts applications for a wide range of postgraduate courses offered at the University of Cambridge. Interested applicants are encouraged to thoroughly review the eligibility criteria and application instructions provided on the official program website before beginning their application process.
