The Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program at the University of Cambridge enables talented young Africans to pursue a master’s degree and grow their leadership potential at one of the world’s leading universities.
Much more than a fully-funded scholarship, it’s a life-changing experience that helps young people fulfil their academic potential and lays the foundations for a rewarding, meaningful career.
More than 500 students will be enrolled in the programme by 2030, undertaking a wide range of master’s courses and all committed to driving sustainable change in Africa and beyond.
The Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program actively supports equality, diversity and inclusion in higher education. Women, refugees, internally displaced persons, and people with disabilities are particularly encouraged to apply.
