Zawadi Scholarship
Whether through small rural gatherings in local villages or large urban sanctuaries like those in Nairobi, Lagos, and Accra, the story of Christianity in Africa spans dozens of countries and centuries. Here at Fuller, we are committed to supporting the vibrant and complex African contexts in which the gospel continues to thrive, and from which the gospel continues to expand throughout the world.
In an effort to make a Fuller education more accessible and affordable, Fuller is pleased to introduce the Zawadi Scholarship––from the Kiswahili word for “gift”––available to incoming students beginning the MA in Intercultural Studies or the MA in Global Leadership in quarter that they are admitted and who are currently serving, or planning to serve, in Africa.
