Overview
The AAI Future Leaders Legacy Fund provides scholarships to bright, yet underresourced African students, who would be the first in their family to attend university, with the opportunity to study in top-performing African universities and colleges to earn bachelor’s degrees and vocational and technical training certifications. The Fund will also ensure that African universities benefit by receiving increased resources to retain and educate students.
Details
AI is committed to providing an exemplary education to the Future Leaders Legacy Fund scholarship students. The Legacy Fund will screen and select the best universities that Africa has to offer to join our network.
As the Fund continues to expand, the network of universities will grow geographically throughout Africa to meet the evolving needs of the scholarship students in higher education and vocational institutions. Another goal of the fund is to improve the capacity of universities through academic exchanges, teacher training and administrative management and leadership certification.
Scholarship candidates must be accepted for enrollment at partner universities. Using the criteria set by AAI, universities will lead the selection of all Legacy Fund scholarship recipients.
The Legacy Fund’s partner institutions are:
- Ashesi University, Accra, Ghana
- United States International University (USIU-Africa), Nairobi, Kenya
- UNISA – The University of South Africa, Pretoria, South Africa
*AAI is actively seeking new partner institutions to expand the number of higher education and technical institutions participating in the Legacy Fund network.
