The Mozida Africa Excellence Scholarship is a merit-based scholarship that has been established by the Mozida Foundation to attract high-performing students who are leaders and agents of communal change to pursue a master’s degree at institutions of higher learning in Bolivia. nFor almost two decades, the Mozida Foundation has been dedicated to providing equal opportunities to underserved populations. Through their dedication to offering healthcare, charitable services, and scholarships, Mozida Foundation is committed to improving the lives of marginalized populations.
Mozida Foundation considers opportunities for personal development, support for those in need, and access to high-quality healthcare to be fundamental cornerstones for creating a just and prosperous society. The Mozida African Excellence Scholarship is their most recent project. According to recent research, Africa’s total population will reach 2.5 billion by 2050 and the African continent will be the source of the largest workforce on the planet. There is therefore a need to equip African youths with relevant knowledge, skills and technical know-how in a bid to prepare them for the not-too-distant future.
