MasterCard Foundation

The MasterCard Foundation is a leading global philanthropic organization dedicated to advancing education and financial inclusion for young people, particularly in Africa. Through its flagship Scholars Program, the foundation provides comprehensive scholarships to academically talented yet economically disadvantaged students, enabling them to pursue undergraduate and postgraduate studies at partner institutions worldwide. These scholarships cover tuition fees, accommodation, books, and living expenses, along with mentorship, leadership development, and career support. The program aims to develop a network of transformative leaders who will contribute to social and economic progress in their communities. At Scholarship Union, we provide detailed information about MasterCard Foundation scholarship opportunities, including eligibility requirements, application deadlines, partner universities, and selection processes. Our resources help students navigate the application journey and access life-changing educational funding. The foundation’s initiatives focus on empowering youth through education, with particular emphasis on girls, refugees, and students from rural areas, aligning with Sustainable Development Goals for quality education and reduced inequalities.
