Nurturing Talent, Driving Change

Welcome to our Scholarship Program, a transformative initiative aimed at fostering the next generation of impact investing leaders from the bottom of the pyramid markets. At SIMA Impact Foundation, we firmly believe in the power of education and its potential to uplift individuals and communities. Through this program, we are committed to providing full tuition assistance to low-income students in business schools, focusing on Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, regions where impact investing is least developed.

Empowering Future Leaders: Scholarship Program Features

At SIMA Impact Foundation, we are proud to offer a scholarship program that provides aspiring impact-investing leaders with comprehensive support to unlock their potential and drive meaningful change. Our program encompasses a range of salient features designed to equip scholars with the necessary skills, experiences, and financial assistance. Explore the key elements of our Scholarship Program below:

100% Tuition Assistance with Interest-Free Loans

We believe that financial constraints should never hinder educational pursuits. Our program offers 100% tuition assistance combined with interest-free loans, ensuring scholars can focus on their studies without the burden of excessive student loans.

Practical Training through Paid Internships

We go beyond classroom education by providing scholars with practical training opportunities through paid internships. This hands-on experience enables them to apply their knowledge, develop crucial skills, and gain valuable insights into the impact investment industry.

Exposure to the Impact Investment Industry

Scholars in our program benefit from exposure to the dynamic world of impact investing. Through workshops, seminars, and networking events, they gain valuable insights, build connections, and develop a deep understanding of the industry's opportunities and challenges.

International Work Experience

We believe in the power of global perspectives and cultural exchange. Our program offers scholars the chance to engage in international work experiences, immersing themselves in diverse environments, and broadening their horizons. This exposure enhances their adaptability and equips them to navigate the complexities of a globalized impact investing landscape.

Moral Obligation to Repay Loan (Only 5% of Net Salary)

As part of our commitment to sustainability, we instill a sense of responsibility and accountability in our scholars. While we provide financial assistance, scholars are morally obliged to repay their loans, with payments commencing once they secure gainful employment. This repayment model, set at a modest 5% of their net salary, ensures the sustainability of the scholarship program for future generations.

Through these salient features, our Scholarship Program empowers future leaders in impact investing, equipping them with the necessary knowledge, experiences, and financial support to create positive and lasting change in their communities and beyond.
