When asked if she would recommend that other African students apply for the MasterCard Foundation Scholars Program at McGill, Njeri Muguthi is unequivocal in her praise. “This has changed the course of my life in a great way,” she says. “I’m attending a wonderful university, meeting students from around the world and I’m building my network.
“Who knows?” continues the first-year Science student, who, prior to coming to McGill last fall, was staying at home fulltime in Nairobi, Kenya, to help raise her infant sister while her parents worked. “Maybe this will help me do something great in the future.”

In less than 50 words, Muguthi has perfectly captured the sweeping spirit of the program, a $500-million, 10-year initiative to educate and prepare young people – particularly from Africa – to lead change and make a positive social impact in their communities. The initiative provides young people from economically disadvantaged communities who have demonstrated academic talent and leadership potential with access to quality and relevant education.
