Fully Funded: MasterCard Fully Funded KNUST Undergraduate Scholarships For Africans

MasterCard Fully Funded Undergraduate Scholarships for Africans

Mastercard KNUST Scholarship: The application is open for exceptional students who have the interest to pursue their university degree program at a reputable university fully sponsored by Mastercard Foundation.

MasterCard KNUST Undergraduate Scholarships give academically gifted but economically disadvantaged young people in Ghana and Africa access to high-quality, relevant university education.

The Mastercard Foundation envisions a world in which everyone has the chance to learn and prosper. Everyone, regardless of their starting point in life, should have an equal opportunity to succeed.

We believe that people can have that opportunity if they have access to education, financial services, and skill training.

Our primary goal is to assist economically disadvantaged young people in Africa in finding opportunities to lift themselves, their families, and their communities out of poverty and into a better life.
