IUGB FAQ – Gender inequality is a barrier for many women in higher education in Western Africa – what is International University of Grand-Bassam (IUGB) doing to change this?

IUGB is at the forefront of removing barriers for women in Western Africa in student admissions and hiring and retaining female professors – both are essential to end patterns of inequality in education and the workforce.

Our Scholars Partner Promise to You - https://mailchi.mp/48e19326a77e/iugbfoundation-march2019-13781218

Dear Friend,

This is our promise to you…

100% of your generosity will go directly to scholarships for low-income, highly-qualified students pursuing a life-changing education at the International University of Grand-Bassam.

This is an important promise because it shows you how your gift will directly impact the lives of young women and men facing economic hardship. Despite their social and economic background, these academically qualified, eager young students will have the opportunity to receive an internationally accredited university degree in career-focused fields.

When you become a Scholars Partner you will receive regular updates on the progress of the students you are helping. You’ll hear their stories and you’ll receive news about how your generosity is changing their lives and transforming what’s possible for their communities.

Thank you for caring about the future of young lives in Côte d’Ivoire today. That’s important and makes you a vital part of what will happen next in this part of the world.

Thank you,

Amini Kajunju, Executive Director

P.S. Did you know that to qualify for an IUGB Foundation scholarship, each student must meet the most rigorous academic and personal standards? And without this help, they just couldn’t afford even the modest tuition of the International University of Grand-Bassam. This means you are helping those who truly need you today – to give them the opportunity they’ve worked so hard for.

You know it’s true – quality education is the best hope to transform young lives and their communities… especially for promising students facing social and economic hardship.

One young woman knows this firsthand because of the timely generosity of someone like you.

What really happens when you help - https://mailchi.mp/524a537f6434/iugbfoundation-march2019-13400766

Her name is Dossou, and her contagious smile shows the brightness of so many eager, exceptional students and the power of their experience at the International University of Grand-Bassam in Côte d’Ivoire.

“Interacting with dedicated professors and other students always encouraged me to strive for excellence – and I was ready for this because I was determined to show others my work ethic as I studied political science and international relations.”

She says, “I learned so much of our society is defined by our history, but it is even more important to make the changes needed – in our own voice… in our own contributions.”

And a scholarship made this possible.
