The BD&SW Memorial Scholarship Program 2026 is designed to support undergraduate students across Africa who face financial challenges but remain committed to completing their education. Many capable students struggle to continue their studies due to limited resources, and this scholarship seeks to reduce that burden by providing targeted financial assistance to those who need it most.Register for new programs at MK SCHOLARS
