Supporting High-Achieving, Low-Income African Students Beyond Financial Aid

Every year, the HALI Access Network supports over 2,000 highly talented youth from low-income communities across sub-Saharan Africa to access university education abroad. About 55% of this cohort are awarded full need-based financial aid/scholarships and go on to enroll in universities outside of their home countries, where they navigate tremendous challenges to thrive on campus and post-graduation. Join this session to discuss some of the unique challenges low-income African students face on international campuses and learn how you can collaborate with a network of access organizations on the continent to make higher education more inclusive for these students.
