What CaReFoAfrica Intra-Africa Mobility Scholarship for African Women actually covers.
The CaReFoAfrica Intra-Africa Mobility Scholarship is an EU-funded programme offering transformative opportunities for African female postgraduate students to pursue Masters or PhD studies at African universities outside their home countries, fostering intra-African academic mobility and building a new generation of women leaders in research and development. The programme provides full financial support including tuition, accommodation, travel, living allowance, and health insurance. By enabling African women to study at African institutions in other countries, CaReFoAfrica promotes both academic excellence and continental integration, while addressing gender disparities in higher education. The scholarship targets women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), health sciences, social sciences, and humanities, with a focus on research that addresses Africa's development challenges. Students gain the experience of studying in a different African cultural and academic environment, building pan-African networks and perspectives that enhance their future careers and contributions to the continent.
