Find out more about Mastercard Foundation Scholars Programme here.
The Scholars Program is implemented through universities and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The application process and decision-making are managed individually by each university and NGO. If you are interested in becoming a Scholar, you must apply through the university of your choice. We recommend that you research the application guidelines or contact the institution of your choice for more information. Institutions have their own deadlines and admission fees. For schools that require application fees as part of the admissions process, the fees will be reimbursed if the student is selected for the Scholars Program.
