Three years ago, the Ford Foundation began a massive, 300 million dollar scholarship program aimed at promising students from developing countries. The project provided post-graduate support for students who plan to return to their countries and contribute to national development. These students represent populations that have historically been excluded from educational opportunity. The scholarship holders – from Uganda, Nigeria, Senegal, India and Peru – describe their experience.
