The "Company" is throwing me a little.

Can anyone offer an ID?

This came as sort of an orphan mixed in with a pile from Burundi or Cameroon or some other exotic locale.

(Sometimes thinking about things like that makes me really happy that there are stamps!)

I am not familiar with Scott, but you should find it under Rhodesia, or maybe Zimbabwe.
It was issued in 1906, as part of the definitive set starting in 1898, SG85

Info on the BSAC (founded by Cecil Rhodes):

This is twice that I've read about Rhodesia today and probably twice in the last decade. Interesting.

I had no idea about the Rhodesia-Rhodes Scholar connection.
