HEConnect offers the Sophie Kanza Full Tuition Scholarship to honor the remarkable legacy of Sophie Kanza, the first female university graduate and professor in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). As a pioneer in education and women’s empowerment in the DRC, Sophie Kanza’s dedication to advancing knowledge and promoting gender equality in academia has inspired countless generations. This scholarship supports female students committed to pursuing higher education and leadership roles, particularly those passionate about breaking barriers in traditionally male-dominated fields. It is designed for individuals who aim to contribute to the development of education and empowerment of women in Africa. By supporting these students, HEConnect strives to continue Sophie Kanza's mission of inspiring women to lead with purpose, intelligence, and resilience in their communities and beyond.
