Ali Hassani Selemani from Tanzania is a sustainability and project management professional with several years of experience in international organizations operating in Sub-Saharan Africa. These include Voluntary Services Overseas (VSO), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
Ali completed his Master’s degree in Sustainability at the United Nations University in Japan, as well as a Joint Diploma in Sustainability Science from the United Nations University and the University of Tokyo. For his Master’s degree, he received a full scholarship from the Japan Foundation for UNU (JFUNU).
The reason Ali joined the Africademics Scholarship Ambassador Programme is that he would like to give back to the community by helping fellow Africans to get similar opportunities like him. In 10 years’ time, Ali sees himself as a successful business person.
Welcome to the Africademics Ambassador Programme, Ali!
The Scholarship Ambassador Programme
Through the Scholarship Ambassador Programme Africademics trains volunteers from across Africa to become scholarship advisors and mentors. Ambassadors complete a 4-month online course with virtual lectures, case studies and additional activities. Once they have successfully graduated, our Scholarship Ambassadors offer personal support, advice and mentorship for scholarship seekers and applicants in and from Africa.
Our 2022 Ambassador cohort started their training in April 2022 and we are thrilled to have over 90 students and scholars from across the African continent on board this year. In 2021, we welcomed our first cohort of 30 Scholarship Ambassadors who completed their training in November 2021. They now offer free scholarship consultations, mentorship and application assistance for scholarship seekers in and from Africa on a regular basis.
Meet our team of Scholarship Ambassadors here and let us know via our contact form if you would like to book a personal consultation with one of them!
