The MINDS Scholarship Program for Leadership Development in Africa was successfully launched in 2017, bringing to realization the vision of developing young leaders who have a continent-wide development mindset and leaders who can facilitate greater cooperation between African countries.
The program enables African students to study in an African country other than their home country and in this way immerse themselves in the richness and diversity that the country and its communities have to offer.
Individuals with a Pan-African outlook, demonstrated leadership ability, and an excellent academic record who wish to study on the African continent, outside their home country are invited to apply for the scholarships.
