U of T and The MasterCard Foundation to develop next-generation African leaders The University of Toronto will join The MasterCard Foundation Scholars Program, with a USD 22.5 million grant announced April 18 by The MasterCard Foundation. The grant is part of a $75 million announcement, which brings three Canadian institutions into The MasterCard Foundation Scholars Program – a global education initiative to educate and develop next-generation African leaders who will contribute to social transformation across the continent. It is one of the largest foundation grants in Canadian history. U of T is one of the Program’s 15 university and secondary education partners from around the world. The announcement included funding for U of T, University of British Columbia, and McGill University, as the only Canadian partners in the Program’s network of institutions. The partners were selected based on their academic excellence, nurturing environments, and programs relevant to economic growth sectors in Africa. news.utoronto.ca/u-t-and-mastercard-foundation-develop-next-generation-african-leaders
