Fraud Alert: ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ Warns of Pan African Scholarship Scam

February 24, 2017

ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳¡¯s attention has been drawn to a fraudulent scheme being advertised as the ¡°2017 Undergraduate Pan African Scholarship¡±.  Several correspondences targeting undergraduate students are being circulated falsely claiming that this is a ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ initiative and demanding processing fees from prospective awardees.

Please note that:

  • ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ is not behind this alleged Pan African Scholarship
  • ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ does not charge any fees at any stage of its scholarship award process
  • ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ does not request for personal financial information for applicants to its scholarship programs

ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ therefore advises the general public to verify any information regarding scholarships offered by the Bank at the following website:  /en/programs/scholarships. ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ will not be held responsible for any refunds of fees solicited by fraudsters purporting to act on its behalf.
