African Union International Centre for Girls’ and Women’s Education in Africa (AU CIEFFA) and ImpactHER Professional Development Studentships

The African Union International Centre for Girls’ and Women’s Education in Africa (AU CIEFFA) and ImpactHER have partnered to offer Professional Development Studentships aimed at empowering women across the continent. This initiative is designed to support female students pursuing higher education, particularly in fields where women are underrepresented. The studentships provide financial assistance, mentorship, and professional development opportunities to help recipients excel academically and professionally. Eligible candidates must be female nationals of African Union member states, enrolled or planning to enroll in an accredited undergraduate or postgraduate program. Applicants are evaluated based on academic merit, leadership potential, and commitment to community development. The scholarship covers tuition fees, accommodation, and a stipend for living expenses, as well as access to networking events and career guidance. This program aligns with the AU’s Agenda 2063 and the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 4 (Quality Education) and Goal 5 (Gender Equality). By investing in women’s education, AU CIEFFA and ImpactHER aim to create a ripple effect that benefits families, communities, and entire nations. If you are a driven African woman seeking to advance your education and career, this scholarship could be your gateway to success.
