In a groundbreaking move aimed at enhancing education and opportunities across Africa, the GREEN-STEM initiative has launched its inaugural scholarship call, exclusively tailored for women. This pioneering program seeks to empower up to 92 young talents, including students and staff, by facilitating intra-Africa mobility to partner institutions for both short and long-term academic pursuits.

The scholarships are uniquely crafted to support full degree programs at one of the GREEN-STEM partner universities. However, eligibility hinges on the condition that the applicant's host university—where the program will be pursued—is distinct from their home university, where they are presently enrolled or have completed studies.
Key Benefits of the Full Degree Scholarship:
- A comprehensive 22-month scholarship for eligible Master’s degree programs.
- A generous monthly stipend of 890€ to cover living expenses.
- Coverage of application fees, alongside visa and insurance contributions.
- While travel expenses remain the responsibility of the recipients, tuition fees are entirely waived, thereby eliminating a significant financial barrier to higher education.
