SN 1 EP 10 : Exploring the transformative power of scholarships in African Academia with RSIF’S-Bonface Nyagah

Mazungumzo - African Scholarly Conversations

Postgraduate research is a journey of discovery and knowledge creation. It goes beyond simply learning how to think and delves into the realm of producing new knowledge. To embark on this journey, one must build upon existing knowledge, using it as a solid foundation. However, it is crucial to recognize that the pursuit of new knowledge requires support.

On this episode of Mazungumzo- African Scholarly Conversations, we are joined by Boniface Nyagah, a program manager and capacity-building specialist who shares his incredible journey from engineering to managing 300 postgraduate scholarships annually and explore the power of scholarships in shaping the future of African academia.
