Mastercard Foundation AfOx Graduate Scholarships 2027-28 for the Oxford MBA (African Applicants)

UN Jobs

Up to three AfOx Graduate Scholarships cover Oxford MBA fees and living costs for Africans living in Africa. Submit your MBA application by 6 January 2027.

Overview


The University of Oxford and the Mastercard Foundation offer up to three AfOx Graduate Scholarships for the 2027-28 Oxford MBA at Saïd Business School in Oxford, UK.


The scholarships cover full course fees and a grant for living costs of at least £21,805. Scholars also get training, networking and support before, during and after Oxford.


They are for African citizens who normally live in Africa, have not done a master's degree, and can show a commitment to Africa's development. The program supports Africans who have had to overcome hardship.


Deadline: 6 January 2027 (Oxford MBA Stage 4). Oxford says the deadline is 23:59 UK time, which is 6:59 PM US Eastern Time.


There is no separate scholarship form. You are considered through your MBA application.
