Mastercard Foundation Scholars

The Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program at ASU provides access to quality education to high-achieving African students who have ambitions that exceed their financial resources. Phase I provided access to undergraduate degrees to 120 African students. The Phase II Strengthening Institutional Linkages partnered with Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology and Ashesi University where students completed their first three years of undergraduate degrees at the two partner institutions and an accelerated Masters degree at ASU in the fields of engineering and business. The Program is currently in its third phase with a focus on technology and innovation.
