On Wednesday, October 11, the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program at USIU-Africa hosted an information session for potential applicants interested in applying to the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program.

The info session was a platform for the Recruitment team to share USIU-Africa’s academic offering, programs, and achievements. It also gave prospective students the chance to interact with university representatives, gain valuable insights into the diverse courses available, and learn about the unique USIU-Africa experience, as well as the Scholars Program.

During the session, which was attended by 250 students, the Recruitment and Selection team led by Faith Mugambi and Rahab Cheche engaged the prospective students in a lively conversation on why they should consider USIU-Africa for their higher education., emphasizing the opportunities the students would get as Scholars to be part of a vibrant campus life that nurtured personal and professional growth.

The Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program at USIU-Africa provides full-cost scholarships to young Africans who are first-time undergraduate degree-seeking applicants. By completion of their studies, Scholars will be required to lead changes in their communities and contribute to meaningful transformation across the continent, having been equipped with internationally recognized and locally applicable qualifications. The Program currently has a call for applications for those interested in joining the September (Fall) 2024 Intake.
