The mission of the Bridge2Rwanda Scholars Program is to build a fellowship of globally-educated young leaders in Africa with the capacity to transform their communities and accelerate growth in their country. The program selects the most talented high school graduates, helps them earn scholarships to study abroad, and equips them to launch their careers back in Africa. Since 2011, Bridge2Rwanda has helped 262 African students from Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan earn over $64 million in scholarships to 84 of the top universities around the world.
Students selected to become B2R Scholars will begin a shortened, 11-month program in August. Because of the abbreviated program, only students with exceptional English proficiency will qualify and be considered to join the program this year. We look forward to meeting our eleventh cohort of Bridge2Rwanda Scholars in 2021!
