The Orange Mali Foundation has announced the launch of its Orange Excellence program, aimed at supporting young students from vulnerable backgrounds who have achieved academic success. The program is open to students who have obtained the Bac 2026 with a "Bien" or "Très Bien" grade. The foundation's goal is to provide these students with the opportunity to pursue higher education in optimal conditions.
The Orange Excellence program offers a comprehensive package of benefits to selected students. These include full coverage of university fees, a monthly stipend, academic support, and personalized accompaniment throughout their academic journey. Students selected for the program will be directly enrolled in one of the foundation's partner universities in Bamako.
To be eligible for the program, students must submit their applications online by the deadline of October 12, 2026. The foundation emphasizes that incomplete applications will not be considered. The program is part of the Orange Mali Foundation's efforts to promote education and support vulnerable populations.
The Orange Mali Foundation is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2026, marking two decades of commitment to serving the Malian population. Over the past 20 years, the foundation has implemented over 1,000 projects benefiting 5 million Malians in areas such as health, education, culture, empowerment, and digital inclusion.
The foundation's Orange Excellence program is designed to address the challenges faced by vulnerable students who have achieved academic success but lack the financial resources to pursue higher education. By providing a comprehensive support package, the program aims to enable these students to reach their full potential and make a positive impact in their communities.

The foundation's commitment to promoting education and digital inclusion has helped to bridge the gap in access to quality education and opportunities for vulnerable populations.
