Measurable difference

Our mission is to help Beacon Scholars achieve a senior leadership position in influential local or international organisations that will significantly influence the development of their home country. We support Beacon Scholars through secondary and undergraduate education, meaning a year-after-year commitment, gradually moulding leadership talent.

We have been innovating in the scholarship space since 2009, and developing a sustainable model for leadership development of gifted and talented young Africans.
