Our Mastercard Foundation Scholars are transforming their communities
Since 2012, ASU has collaborated with a global network of partner organizations to select 120 academically talented Mastercard Foundation Scholars from 20 African countries. These Mastercard Foundation Scholars have demonstrated leadership potential, yet face significant barriers to continuing their education. Our undergraduate Mastercard Foundation Scholars came to ASU in four cohorts, the first of which graduated in May 2016. The final cohort was admitted in 2015 and will graduate in May 2019. They are pursuing a range of majors, with the majority concentrated in STEM fields and business. All recipients engage in leadership development and community service opportunities throughout their academic endeavors.
