Throughout 2023, faculty from the Brandon University Department of Rural Development and the Rural Development Institute have been collaborating with the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Universities Canada, and Global Affairs Canada to secure International Student Scholarship Funds.
All funds from the Canadian International Development Scholarships: 2030 (BCDI: 2030) will be used to support ten international students from KNUST, Ghana to attend the Brandon University Master of Arts in Rural Development program.
This project will focus on ensuring that once each student has completed their Graduate Studies at Brandon University, they will return to their home countries and apply their knowledge and skillsets in the realm of rural development. The BCDI: 2030 project also aims to emphasize the importance of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), where all future work is conducted with sustainability at the forefront of priorities.
To learn more about this project make sure to visit the BCDI: 2030 Project Announcement, the BCDI: 2030 Leadership Training for Sustainable Rural Development: A Transformative Learning Experience Overview, and the links below!
