The Mandela Washington Fellowship invites 500 young African Leaders to spend six weeks in June and July 2015 at a leading US university studying one of three tracks: public management, civic leadership, or business and entrepreneurship.

After completing their studies, all fellows will travel to Washington, DC for a summit hosted by President Barack Obama and attended by leaders in business, government, and NGO communities.

The training is supplemented by over 200 internship opportunities in the US and Africa, follow-on professional mentoring and over $1 million in seed money to grow new businesses and initiatives.

South Africa’s Mandela Washington Fellow Alumni are some of the best and brightest South Africa has to offer.
