Applications open for 2025 Mastercard Foundation EdTech Fellowship

South African ed-tech incubator Injini, in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, has opened applications for the 2025 Mastercard Foundation EdTech Fellowship, which supports South Africa-based startups aiming to improve education through innovation. 

Founded in 2017, Injini, which is a member of the UVU Africa Group, is a registered non-profit company that exists for the sole purpose of improving educational outcomes in Sub-Saharan Africa. The only ed-tech specialised accelerator in Africa, its programmes and research via the Injini Think Tank contribute towards its mission to increase the quality, accessibility, and relevance of education in the region.

Disrupt Africa reported last year Injini had partnered the Mastercard Foundation to launch the EdTech Fellowship for South Africa-based startups, and a second cohort was selected in April. Applications are now open for the third fellowship, which offers participating startups a combination of direct grant funding, product evaluation, tailored market research, skills development, mentorship, and market access opportunities.

Interested ventures can apply here by December 8.
