The MINDS Scholarship Programme for Leadership Development in Africa was initially launched in 2017, with the goal of developing young leaders with a continent-wide development mindset and leaders who can facilitate greater cooperation between African countries. The Scholarship Programme aims to allow for students to become immersed in the richness and diversity of an African country and its communities has to offer, by offering students the opportunity to study in an African country other than their country of residence.The scholarship is available for Postgraduate (Honours or Master’s degree) studies within Africa, in any field, at approved institutions. The scholarship is available to students from any African country, to study outside of their own country.
The MINDS Scholarship Programme aims to create leaders who have a continental development mindset; leaders who will encourage greater cohesion and cooperation between African countries.
