The Mwalimu Nyerere African Union Scholarship Scheme was launched in 2007 with the aim of contributing to the production and retention of high calibre African human capital for sustainable development of the continent in critical development areas, while promoting regional integration through intra-African mobility of students. The
Scholarship Scheme is intended to enable young Africans to study in leading African
Universities with a binding agreement that beneficiaries will work in an African country for at least the same duration of scholarship period after graduation.
