This program is open to Masters and PhD candidates.

This scholarship is an opportunity awarded to qualified Masters and PhD students. This program is sponsored by Pan African University/African Union and is hosted by Pan African University Institutes. The Pan African University is an initiative of the Heads of State and Government of the African Union. It is a Premier continental university network whose mission is to provide quality postgraduate education geared towards the achievement of a prosperous, integrated and peaceful Africa.

The Pan-African University (PAU) is a post-graduate training and research network of university nodes in five regions, supported by the African Union and the Association of African Universities. The first African Ministerial Conference on Science and Technology was held in 2003 in Johannesburg, South Africa with the aim of improving the quality of science and technology education and thereby the productivity of African economies. These ideas were elaborated in a “concept note” which outlined the objectives of the PAU. In 2008 the African Union agreed that the PAU should be established. A high-level panel was appointed in 2009 to oversee the PAU. The PAU was officially launched in 2011, and the university’s statute was adopted in 2013.
