Project: Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program – Longitudinal Cohort Study

Amount: $4.8 million

Countries: Pan - African

This longitudinal study will follow two cohorts of tertiary and secondary education alumni from the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program over an initial period of five years following graduation. The study seeks to understand how Scholar Alumni navigate post-graduation pathways – this includes understanding contextual factors influencing decision-making around return, employment and entrepreneurship. Further, the study will explore how Scholars conceptualize and live the values of transformative leadership and it will seek to understand the impacts that they have on their families, communities and countries.
