Details of MINDS Scholarship.
Applications are open for the MINDS Scholarship Programme for Leadership Development 2023. The Programme launched in 2017, brings to realization MINDS’ vision of developing young leaders who have a continent-wide development mindset and leaders who can facilitate greater cooperation between African countries.
The Scholarship Programme enables African students to study in an African country other than their home country and immerse themselves in the richness and diversity that the country and its communities have to offer. By broadening access to education, they see the expansion of openness to ideas and the creation of a network of like-minded leaders who will help promote the performance and tangible progress of the African continent. There is no doubt that a more integrated African economy on a global scale will accelerate growth, generate positive outcomes, and benefit all its communities.
