About Standard Bank Africa Chairman Scholarship
The 2013-founded Standard Bank Africa Chairman Scholarship is to provide the next generation of African talent with access to both educational enrichment and global exposure. By offering the scholarship, Standard Bank hopes to foster a network of African leaders who will support and champion the continent’s growth and sustainability while exerting influence on the rest of the world.
