Mandela Rhodes Scholarship 2024-2025 for Young Africans
The Mandela Rhodes Scholarship 2024 combines financial support with a leadership programme that will challenge you, grow you, and connect you to young African changemakers – just like you.
The programme is built on our founding principles of reconciliation, education, entrepreneurship, and leadership, and a belief that leadership begins with inner transformation. We aim to keep Nelson Mandela’s legacy alive by equipping young African leaders with the competence and courage to transform the continent into a place where everyone has equal opportunity to thrive. Their programme is delivered primarily through a series of week-long residential workshops which you will attend during your time in residence.
