MBABANE – A life changing opportunity for orphaned youth in Eswatini, Young Heroes has partnered with the Ashinaga Africa Initiative (AAI) to offer three full university scholarships for exceptional students to study abroad.
The scholarships are aimed at bright, underprivileged learners who have lost one or both parents and show strong academic potential.The programme will support selected students to pursue undergraduate studies in Europe, Japan, the USA, or Brazil, opening doors to world class education and exposure to global networks.
To qualify, candidates must be under 23 years old, with no dependents, and in good health. They must have performed within the top 10% of their class in their final year of high school or achieved top 10% results in national exams.
In addition, applicants must be proficient in English and demonstrate a genuine lack of financial means to access university education without external support.
This initiative is a major step towards bridging the education gap and supporting vulnerable youth in Eswatini to reach their full potential. The partnership between Young Heroes and Ashinaga reflects a shared commitment to empowering the next generation of African leaders.
Eligible candidates are encouraged to submit their application letter, contact details, and certified copies of educational certificates to feedback@youngheroes.org.sz by 29 July 2025. For more information, applicants can visit the official programme page, Ashinaga Africa Initiative
