The Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program expands access to quality, inclusive, and relevant education for academically talented yet financially disadvantaged young people in Kenya. The programme supports scholars from counties across the country by providing a comprehensive package of financial, academic, and social support, enabling them to overcome barriers to education, achieve their full potential, and become leaders who drive positive social and economic change.

As part of a global network of educational institutions and non-profit organizations, the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program is founded on the belief that education is a powerful catalyst for transformation. Supported by the Mastercard Foundation, the programme is implemented by FAWE Kenya under the coordination of the FAWE Africa Regional Secretariat and will run through December 2031.
