Mwalimu Nyerere African Union 2010 Scholarship Scheme

African Union Scholarship Scheme

To step up efforts to develop, nurture and retain a critical mass of human resources, particularly in the areas of science and technology. Support is also necessary to enhance the quality of teaching of these critical disciplines. For this reason, the African Union Commission established the Mwalimu Nyerere African Union Scholarship Scheme in 2007.

The Mwalimu Nyerere African Union Scholarship Scheme is designed to enable young Africans to study in leading African Universities and Higher Education Institutions, in the areas of science and technology, with a binding agreement that beneficiaries will work in any African country for at least 2 years after graduation.
The Scheme is in its third year. The first call was for students undertaking Bachelors’ degree programmes. The 2010 call is restricted to post-graduate studies (Masters and PhD).

The Scholarship covers all fees related to tuition and examination, return transport from home town to the University, and a modest subsistence allowance.
