The Africa-America Institute (AAI) is pleased to announce the
next deadline for scholarship applications for the Transformational Leadership
Program (TLP). AAI is partnering with The Coca-Cola Africa
Foundation (TCCAF) on TLP to enhance capacity of professional management skills
and leadership in Africa. Please
feel free to share this scholarship opportunity with any interested and
qualified individuals.
This multiyear program offers both non-degree professional
development and business degree training programs to African managers in
Africa-based NGOs working in the fields of health, education, environment and
entrepreneurship.
The program involves three training providers with excellent
track records in their respective fields: Emory University's
Goizueta Business School
(Atlanta, USA), The Aresty Institute of Executive Education at
The Wharton School of the University of
Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, USA) and the
United States International University (
Nairobi, Kenya).
