The Mastercard Foundation Scholars Programme at the University of Cambridge is thrilled to announce that applications for the 2024/2025 academic year are now open.
ABOUT THE MASTERCARD FOUNDATION SCHOLARS PROGRAMME
Established in 2022 through a collaboration between the University and the Mastercard Foundation, this program aims to offer fully funded opportunities to talented students from economically marginalized African communities. Its goal is to help them complete their Master's training, foster transformative leadership, and make contributions to climate resilience and sustainability in Africa and globally.
The Programme provides scholarships across a wide range of academic disciplines, encompassing Social Sciences, Arts, and Humanities, as well as scientific and technical fields such as engineering and biochemistry. Prospective Mastercard Foundation scholars can apply to most full-time one-year postgraduate courses at the University, except specific business courses, including the Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Corporate Law (MCL), and Master of Finance (MFin).
