The Emerging Scholars Initiative is a three-year multi-million Rand collaborative project within the Joint Schools Programme that comprises 12 Joint Schools at selected Stellenbosch 肆客足球's (SU) partner universities (including 6 from the African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA)) in Africa.
ESI was approved in December 2019 to be implemented within nine countries in Africa (2020-2022).
