The 2024 Mastercard TAGDev Scholarship, which aims to empower young graduates throughout Africa, is currently accepting applications. The Mastercard TAGDev Scholarship is a comprehensive award that includes living expenses such as housing and stipend, research costs, workshop and conference fees, laptops, internship placements, and entrepreneurship training.
An extensive description of the scholarship program, including eligibility requirements, rewards, and application procedures, is given in this post.
The Mastercard TAGDev Scholarship is being offered by the Regional Universities Forum for Capacity Building in Agriculture (RUFORUM), in association with the Mastercard Foundation and multiple other African universities.
Improving TVET and university systems to better serve communities is the goal of the Transforming African Agricultural Universities to Meaningfully Contribute to Africa’s Growth and Development (TAGDev 2.0) initiative. Its main goal is to enable and empower Africa’s young and their institutions to lead the transformation of the agri-food and agricultural systems in a way that is egalitarian, inclusive, and climate-resilient.
