World class scholarships for African graduates
Across Africa many students struggle to afford quality education, in parallel African businesses have international ambitions and are looking for candidates with global perspectives and world class qualifications.
To broaden the global competitiveness of Honoris graduates, Actis Acts is sponsoring international scholarships for three Honoris scholars at world-class universities, such as University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, a Russell Group University in the UK or at an Ivy League or similarly prestigious university in the US. This aims to significantly increase their employability and widen their horizons.
To further enhance the scholars’ experience, Actis is providing internships across the Actis platform.
One scholar, Akrem Maaroufi has completed his scholarship which included internships at Actis, Lekela and Azura Power. See a video about his experience.
