Abstract
The Mastercard Foundation has committed substantial investments to improve access to quality secondary and tertiary education in Africa, as well as "school to employment" transition support. As part of this investment, the Scholars Program has partnered Five of these universities from the United States (University of California, Berkeley, Michigan State University), Canada (McGill University, University of Toronto) and Costa Rica (EARTH University), plus Simon Fraser University in Canada, have partnered to conduct this pioneering study on the career and life trajectories of past African alumni of their respective universities, with the intention to gain knowledge and insights that may improve outcomes for current and future African scholars.
