- Abstract
- This Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program Roadmap from September 2021, outlines the evolution and future direction of the Scholars Program, launched in 2012. Originally focused on individual scholarships, the Scholars Program now emphasizes institutional transformation and systemic change in African higher education. The roadmap details progress—nearly 41,000 scholarships and a target of 100,000 by 2030—and highlights priorities such as inclusion, dignified work, and network-building. It emphasizes partnerships with universities, employers, and communities to make education more relevant, foster leadership among youth (especially women, refugees, and people with disabilities), and create sustainable, equitable socio-economic impact across Africa.
