The Mastercard Foundation Scholarship Program primarily focuses on students from Africa. Despite recent unprecedented economic growth and political resurgence, over 60% of the continent's population is under 25, making it the youngest continent. Concurrently, Sub-Saharan Africa has the lowest secondary and higher education enrollment rates. 

The program aims to support young people who face economic and social challenges throughout the continent, motivating them to apply their knowledge to enhance their communities and countries.
