Indo-African Scholarships

Indo-African Scholarship Initiative

The Scheme:

The Indo-African 10,000+ Scholarships Drive is a joint Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative by AASGON (Africa Asia Scholars Global Network), UK, and Business Press India, Delhi NCR, India. It aims to support the Global South, particularly African Union countries, by offering 100% tuition fee-free scholarships to over 10,000 young nationals.

This initiative specifically targets students from deprived, underprivileged, conflict-affected regions, wards of single parents, female candidates, tribal communities, and individuals from marginalised sections of society.

The TECD Foundation is responsible for managing and implementing the scheme in association with the GSE Foundation.
