An Inclusive Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program
The Mastercard Foundaion Scholars Program is developing Africa’s next generation of leaders. The Program allows students whose talent and promise exceed their financial resources to complete their education. With a vision that education is a catalyst for social and economic change, the program focuses on developing leaders who are transformative, encouraging them to be active contributors in their communities.
The Program provides financial, social, and academic support to Mastercard Foundation Scholars. Financial support includes, but is not limited to, tuition fees, accommodation, books, and other scholastic materials. The scope of majors and degrees eligible for the Program varies from institution to institution.

Disability Inclusion Reflection Checklist
This checklist is intended as a guide to enable Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program partners plan for and integrate disability inclusion into each phase of the Program, including program design and formulation.
While each question is posed to encourage reflective thinking, not all questions presented may be applicable to every Program. However, we encourage each Partner to be innovative in their thinking and use each question to start the paradigm shift in thinking towards more and/or better disability inclusive practices.
The Checklist is designed to be used throughout one’s partnership with the Program; referring to the different sections and using the guiding questions as a basis to set up or strengthen actions towards disability inclusion; to identify areas of improvement, and address gaps.
Note that more information on each of the considerations mentioned in this checklist will be available on CapAble.
