Learn Africa Scholarship Program for African women, 2021-2022

Applications are now opened for the 2021-2022 Learn Africa Scholarship Program. Promoted by the Women for Africa Foundation, The scholarship aims to promote the transfer of knowledge, exchange and training of African undergraduate and graduate women through scholarships in Spanish universities that collaborate in the initiative.

Selected students can complement their Master’s and PhD level education, and then invest what has been learned to benefit their communities, thus contributing to the progress of African societies.

Scholarships are funded mostly by host universities, which are all members of the Conference of Rectors of Spanish Universities (CRUE). Learn Africa presents, for the second year, a different call than usual. Given the global travel restrictions established because of Covid-19 pandemic, all the courses offered for the 2021-2022 will be taught online, except those from Planeta Formation and University which will take place in Rabat. All these courses have been designed to avoid the impact of the coronavirus in your training and future.
