The TY Danjuma MBA Scholarship is open to all successful African MBA applicants to the top ten business schools (as ranked by the Financial Times), regardless of their domicile. Awarded candidates will receive their award before the business school’s yearly intake date.
However, while the TY Danjuma MBA Scholarship will help African students bridge some of the financial gaps and reduce some of the financial stress associated with pursuing MBA programs, it will not be sufficient to serve as the primary source of funding for these programs.
The TY Danjuma MBA Scholarship was established in 2011 with the goal of assisting up to eight candidates per year. To date, 46 students from Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda, and Zimbabwe, as well as Ghana, Morocco, Togo, and Côte d’Ivoire, have received scholarships to attend:
- Harvard Business School
- INSEAD
- London Business School
- MIT: Sloan
- Stanford Graduate School of Business
- University of California at Berkeley: Haas
- University of Chicago: Booth
- IE Business School Madrid
- University of Cambridge: Judge
