UNICAF officially announces its 2016 Scholarship programmes
targeted for Africans. The programmes are targeted for studentsthat domicile in
Africa with interest in starting and/or continuing their Education. The Scholarship programmes are operated and sponsored by
UNICAF, in partnership with internationally recognized institutions in USA, UK
and f EU, to offer various Master Degree programmes.
UNICAF is aiming towards providing access to high quality
Education to individuals in Africa who have interest in furthering their education,
but may not have been able to achieve this due to the cost implications or
other family and work commitments which prohibit them to travel abroad. It provides
them with the opportunity for distance learning toward various post graduate
degrees.
UNICAF remains one of the most generous organization on the
mission to combat education in Africa through its Scholarship programmes, with
over $35 million already awarded in Scholarships. Some of its partnership
institutions include The Marymount California University, USA, University of
South Wales, UK and the University of Nicosia, EU.
In a Statement released by the UNICAF’s International
Development Manager, Mr Savva Constantinou ,“We are on the mission to totally
liberate the access toquality higher education to Africans. We believe that
Africans deserves the full education, and the best of it.
With our already secured partnerships with some of the best
institutions across the globe, today, we can offer many Africans access to
quality education in these institutions at the possible minimal cost. We will
also continue to establish various partnerships and collaborations with various
institutions to give more Africans wider range of choices.
Our scholarship programmes for now are mainly for Master
Degrees, and soon, we should start offering programmes for First Degree, to
enable more Africans to participate in the programmes.
Upon successful completion of a specific programme, students
receive the degree from the awarding institution which is identical to the
degree issued by the home campus students and has the same rights.
We are happy that many Africans are already benefiting from
these programmes, and we will encourage more eligible Africans to
participate.’’

studies toward MBA, MA Education, MSc Business Phycology and other Master Degree
