Learn Africa Scholarships 2023-2024 For African Women | Fully-Funded

Published: 05 Apr 2023

Women for Africa Foundation opens applications for African women for training and graduate scholarships.

To date, 630 scholarships have been awarded to African women from 42 different countries through the Learn Africa program. This has been possible thanks to the commitment and dedication of a wide network of (more than) 50 partners, including universities, educational centers and donors.

For the past two years, the Learn Africa program had to focus almost exclusively on the online training modality due to the travel and gathering restrictions imposed worldwide to curtail the spread of the pandemic. Coinciding with the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Women for Africa Foundation, the program is now back with a training offer broader than ever, combining three different training modalities: face-to-face, online and blended (hybrid), thus allowing female African students to choose the training model that best suits their personal circumstances.
