Mastercard Foundation, FAWE Uganda, to give out 1800 scholarships to young Ugandans

To ensure the success of the scholarship recipients, the program includes an Extended Orientation Program, Gender Responsive Pedagogy Training, Mentorship, and Entrepreneurship support. These components are integral to the holistic development of the students, preparing them not just academically, but also socially and professionally.

The Mastercard Foundation’s partnership with FAWE Uganda is part of a broader commitment to the African continent. Having already completed a successful ten-year phase, the program is now entering a new seven-year phase, expanding its reach to 10 countries across Africa. The impact of the first phase has been profound, with many participants completing their education and securing gainful employment.

The announcement of the 1,800 scholarships is a call to action for young Ugandans who aspire to transform their lives through education. It is an invitation to be part of a program that has already changed the lives of many and promises to continue doing so for years to come.

For those interested in applying or seeking more information, they are encouraged to visit the official Mastercard Foundation or FAWE Uganda websites and follow the application procedures outlined therein.
