BOA EXCELLENCE: A Look Back at a Commitment to Academic Excellence and Equal Opportunity

BANK OF AFRICA, represented by our CEO, Amine BOUABID, and ESSEC Business School – Africa Campus signed a strategic  partnership agreement on September 9, 2026, in Rabat, aimed at facilitating access to top-tier higher education for young African  talents.

Named «BOA EXCELLENCE», this program aims to break down the financial barriers that can hinder access to international higher education. In its initial phase, it is designed for high school graduates from six countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte  d’Ivoire, Mali, Niger, and Senegal.

Scheduled for September 2027, the inaugural cohort will welcome a class of 12 students selected on the basis of merit and equal opportunity.
