Women for Africa Foundation is launching a new call for applications for the Learn Africa program , an initiative that, over the years, has opened real opportunities for training, research, and leadership to 462 African women , helping to strengthen their role in the development processes of their countries.
The 2026 edition marks a step forward in the evolution of the program, with the awarding of more than 100 scholarships , including 28 continuation scholarships, which will allow for the continuation of academic careers already begun, while incorporating new scholarships in a growing number of disciplines.
The program continues to grow with the addition of new institutions , such as the FUNIBER group , which offers a master's scholarship in Portuguese or French at the European University of the Atlantic , thus expanding the possibilities of access to training in different socio-linguistic contexts in Africa, and the Institute of Natural Resources and Agrobiology of Seville (IRNAS) , which begins its journey in the program with an interesting face-to-face research scholarship.
