Scholarships for African Students: Creating Access
July 9, 2025 2025-07-09 12:18Scholarships for African Students: Creating Access
For many brilliant young Africans, the only barrier to a world-class education is affordability. Across the continent, talent is abundant but opportunity is not. That’s why scholarships for African students are more than financial aid they’re investments in Africa’s future.
At the Academic City University Foundation, we are dedicated to breaking these barriers by providing scholarships that support the brightest minds in Africa especially in fields like STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) and entrepreneurship education.
Why Scholarships Matter in Africa
Higher education in Africa is often underfunded, and tuition fees can be out of reach for many deserving students. Without scholarships:
-
Talented students are left behind
-
Innovation is stifled
-
Economic mobility is slowed
With the right support, these students can thrive and become engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, educators, and changemakers.
Our Scholarship Model at Academic City Foundation
We design our scholarships to be:
-
Need-based and merit-based
-
Transparent and inclusive
-
Focused on STEAM fields and leadership potential
Since 2018, we’ve awarded over $2 million in scholarships, helping students from across Ghana and West Africa pursue their dreams at Academic City University one of Africa’s most innovative institutions.
Our goal: to ensure that 30% of our student body receives scholarship support by 2030.
Real Impact, Real Stories
Each scholarship tells a story of perseverance, ambition, and transformation.
📌 Sarah from Northern Ghana, once unsure she could attend college, is now building health tech apps after receiving a full scholarship.
📌 Kwame, a Robotics student, is designing AI systems thanks to support from the foundation.
These are just two examples of how scholarships create ripples of change far beyond the classroom.
