Standard Bank Africa Undergraduate Scholarship in Africa 2020

Standard Bank Africa Undergraduate Scholarship in Africa 2020

Standard Bank in Africa is inviting applications for the Standard Bank Africa Chairman’s Undergraduate Scholarship for the 2020/2021 academic session.

The Standard Bank Africa Chairman’s Scholarship marks the culmination of over thirty years of direction, vision, and action attributed to Derek Cooper, a true African business leader and former Chairman of the Standard Bank Group. “Africa is their home, and they are focused on driving her growth.” With a heritage of over 155 years, they are a leading integrated financial services group on the African continent with an on-the-ground presence in 20 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, where they also trade as Stanbic Bank.

It is becoming clearer that Africa has a critical role to play in shaping the 21st Century. The continent is increasingly interacting with the rest of the world on its own terms. Through this commitment, Standard Bank aims to champion those African leaders who will actively build a future for Africa, led by Africans.

Worth of Award

The stay and studies of the candidates will be fully-funded and backed by Standard Bank as part of their commitment to enable and empower them to become effective leaders in Africa.
