Real change comes through real action.
Wolverine Worldwide and UBI Business School are proud to announce the ‘Wolverine-UBI Scholarship’, dedicated to empowering women through education. This scholarship will be awarded to outstanding female candidates in Africa to pursue UBI’s top-ranked online MBA programme.
In many parts of Africa, women still face significant barriers to accessing quality education and professional development opportunities. Economic challenges, cultural norms, and limited educational resources often prevent women from pursuing higher education and achieving their full potential. This scholarship aims to bridge that gap by providing deserving female candidates with the business skills and knowledge to be competitive in the business world.
Both Wolverine Worldwide and UBI Business School are rooted in shared principles that drive their mission and values. UBI is based on the principles of the UBI good citizen, which include global-mindedness, responsibility, empathy, innovation, community orientation, and lifelong learning. Similarly, Wolverine Worldwide is guided by principles of simplicity, prioritising significant and impactful opportunities, inclusivity, and inspired collaboration. By supporting women’s academic ambitions, the Wolverine-UBI Scholarship seeks to promote gender equality, enhance economic opportunities, and contribute to the overall development of communities, aligning with the UN SDGs.
Dr. M. Altamira, UBI’s Director of Postgraduate Programmes, said, “I cannot be more proud of Wolverine and UBI. This is the kind of action that makes a big difference.”
