About MCF Cambridge

A partnership between the University of Cambridge and the Mastercard Foundation was formed in 2022 to create the esteemed Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program. Between 2023 and 2030, more than 500 African scholars will be enrolled in the program to pursue a variety of Master’s degrees.

Bright students from underrepresented communities in Africa would have fully supported access to the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program, which would enable them to complete their Master’s degree, gain transformative leadership skills, and support climate resilience and sustainable futures in the continent.
