Akwanya

Akwanya, which in Twi translates to “a path towards opportunity” is part of The MasterCard Foundation Scholars Program. It creates higher education opportunities for academically talented, yet economically disadvantaged African students, and empowers them to make a difference in their communities. Akwanya is a collaborative effort between universities, secondary schools and NGOs around the world who seek to demonstrate that by removing financial barriers and providing the right kinds of support, students from disadvantaged communities in Africa can enroll and succeed in university, and ultimately make a difference in their communities.
