Application For MINDS Diamond Empowerment Fund Scholarships 2019

Ongoing Application For MINDS Diamond Empowerment Fund Scholarships 2019 for young Africans

The Fund was inspired by Nelson Mandela who encouraged Diamond Empowerment Fund (DEF)’s co-founders to tell the world the positive impact Africa’s diamonds were having in building healthy and educated communities on the continent.

MINDS’ unique approach develops Pan-African leaders who have a lived understanding and experience on the continent and who, in turn, can facilitate regional economic integration and social cohesion. DEF is interested in contributing to creating a pool of young leaders committed to playing a critical role in achieving a more integrated African economy. The MINDS Diamond Empowerment Fund Scholarship will be earmarked for students from a diamond producing country whose chosen post-graduate study will be in a field that meets the needs for improving the quality of life for Africans.
