The scholarship is fully funded, meaning selected students receive comprehensive financial support to pursue their online master’s degree without the burden of tuition costs. Beyond financial coverage, the program also offers access to a structured scholars program that includes leadership training, professional development, and community engagement activities.

Scholars benefit from being part of a prestigious academic environment at AUB, gaining access to high-quality education, global networks, and career-enhancing opportunities. The program is designed not just to support academic success but also to develop well-rounded professionals equipped to contribute meaningfully to their societies.

Applicants must be citizens of countries on the African continent, making this opportunity highly relevant for students across Africa, including Uganda. Candidates are expected to be 35 years old or younger at the time of application and must demonstrate strong academic performance in their previous studies.

In addition to academic excellence, applicants should show clear leadership potential and a commitment to community engagement, as the program prioritizes individuals who are likely to create impact in their communities after completing their studies. Financial need is also an important consideration, meaning applicants should demonstrate that their talent exceeds their financial resources.

Furthermore, candidates must be willing to participate in additional training, workshops, and learning experiences required by the scholars program. Applicants are also required to prove English proficiency through recognized tests such as TOEFL, IELTS, GRE (Verbal), GMAT (Verbal), or the Duolingo English Test before the stated deadline.

This scholarship is open to applicants from all African countries. That means students from across the entire African continent—including countries in East, West, Central, North, and Southern Africa—are eligible to apply.
