Chevening Scholarships for Malawi Students

Overview

The African Fellowship Trust (AFT) and the Royal Agricultural College (RAC) are pleased to announce a new Chevening/ African Fellowship Trust Scholarships scheme for the academic year 2012/13.

The programme will identify and provide high level and tailor-made educational opportunities in the UK for outstanding students from sub-Saharan Africa who could become tomorrow’s leaders and innovators in the agricultural, food and natural resources sectors. The targeted countries are Malawi, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The programme involves a post-graduate core component plus networking and placements with the international agricultural and food industries, the financial institutions involved in African agribusiness and development groups.


RAC in the UK provides the academic and networking part of the course running from October to June. From this year the Standard Bank Centre for Agribusiness Leadership & Mentorship Development at Stellenbosch University, South Africa, will manage the industrial placements which will be located in southern Africa.

The Centre will put the Fellows through a short orientation course in southern African agricultural developments and then arrange 6- week placements for them in the agribusiness sector. During the placements the Centre will provide the Fellows with mentoring support.
