The Moremi Initiative For Women’s Leadership in Africa (MILEAD), a crusade for engaging, inspiring and equipping a new generation of African women leaders is currently accepting applications for the 2011 MILEAD Fellows Program.
The MILEAD Fellows Program is a one-year leadership development program designed to identify, develop and promote emerging young African Women leaders to attain and succeed in leadership in their community and Africa as a whole. The program targets dynamic young women interested in developing transformational leadership skills that would help them tackle issues affecting women in their communities and society as a whole. Applications are welcome from young African women living in Africa and the Diaspora.
Who’s Qualified?
MILEAD fellowship awards will be made to 25 young women with exceptional qualities who have exhibited leadership potential in their community, organization, and/or profession. To be eligible for the one-year program, an applicant must be African, living on the continent or in the Diaspora; agree to participate in all required activities related to MILEAD, including a three-week residential Summer Institute in August; and commit to a community leadership service project. Applicant must be between 19 – 25 years of age. Specific requirements of the program and related dates are outlined in the application package.
Please note that this is not a full-time fellowship. Selected candidates may remain full-time students or work full-time for the program duration, except during the 3–week summer institute. The 3-week summer institute is an intensive and full-time residential program and all fellows will be required to attend. The rest of the program involves community-based, online and other distance activities.

It says you can approach donors for scholarships or contributions, and/or whatever funds you raise, the Foundation will try to match the funds you raised. It also says a limited number of scholarships are available; you could look into getting one of those. Good luck!
