MISSION:
Furthering higher education and cross-cultural experience to accelerate social change.
Africa's Tomorrow is a U.S. based, tax-exempt, nonprofit organization that provides assistance and funding to promising students from rural Africa, helping them attend college and earn an undergraduate degree in the U.S.
We first began this work, helping both men and women from Africa gain an education - in fact, two of our first scholars are men. To read more about their stories, click here.
There are thousands of motivated and talented students who are unable to continue their education because they lack the financial means. We believe that education is the key to global leadership and that by aiming our resources at those who face the biggest barriers, we can make a real and tangible contribution to the future of this world.
That is why Africa's Tomorrow has pledged a no-interest, forgivable loan of $5,000/year to each scholar, as well as providing continuous support while the students are residing in the U.S.
