PROGRAM PRIORITIES
Scholarships
The Foundation responds to those needs by creating a scholarship programme with the aim to give disenfranchised, poor students a chance to have access to good STEM education in Africa. These students are some of the brightest minds and Africa cannot afford to keep losing them.

The Foundation will create and fund a Seedling Programme which is a magnet programme in public schools to support, enrich and empower High School and Middle School students’ learning in science, technology, engineering, and math.Support & Recruit Physically Challenged Students Education in STEM Fields
The OneAfrica University of Computer Science Technology and Engineering Foundation will create, fund, and promote a programme to support and recruit physically challenged students in STEM fields.Increase Women Education in STEM Fields
The OneAfrica University of Computer Science Technology and Engineering Foundation will create and fund a programme to promote and increase women education in STEM Fields. Increasing female education has been a problem in most of Africa.
In recent decades, many countries have made great strides to enrol more girls in school. But in higher education, Africa still has a steep cliff to climb. And when it comes to the STEM fields in tertiary education, the numbers do not favour girls.
OneAfrica University of Computer Science, Technology and Engineering Foundation will make an effort to counter this major problem.
The OneAfrica University of Computer Science Technology and Engineering Foundation is proud to have among the OneAfrica University founding partners, a trailblazer, and a pioneer in STEM, Dr. Elsie Effah Kaufmann, Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Dean of the School of Engineering at the University of Ghana. Dr. Kaufmann is one of a few women leading in the STEM field in Africa. She has been a leading voice for girls’ education and has been recognized nationally and internationally for her outstanding academic and service work. Dr. Kaufmann earned her PhD from the prestigious University of Pennsylvania (UPenn). Dr. Kaufmann is also Host of the National Science and Math Quiz of Ghana.
Dr. Kaufmann will use the power of her voice to support OneAfrica University of Computer Science, Technology and Engineering Foundation in the effort to help promote girls’ education in Computer Science, Technology, and Engineering in Africa.
