2023 Mandela’s MINDS Scholarship Programme
The MINDS Scholarship Programme for Leadership Development in Africa was successfully launched in 2017.
MINDS offers scholarships to Africans who wish to pursue post-graduate studies within Africa, outside of their own countries. Through tailored leadership development activities, the MINDS scholarship programme will nurture leaders who have a continental development mindset; leaders who will facilitate greater cohesion and cooperation between African countries.
MINDS scholarships are applicable to full-time studies of a one or two-year Honors or Master’s degree at one of the MINDS preferred institutions. MINDS does not prescribe the course to be studied.
