Hi Samantha,

There are programs, but they are very competitive. Generally, there are more/better opportunities for masters and PhD students than for undergraduates.

You find information on international scholarships here: https://www.idp.com/kenya/scholarships/
You can further search for opportunities here: www.wemakescholars.com and here

For Germany, DAAD has a Kenya office: https://www.daad-kenya.org/en/find-funding/scholarships-for-undergraduates-and-postgraduates/

For the EU, Erasmus Mundus is the program to look for: https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/opportunities/opportunities-for-individuals/students/erasmus-mundus-joint-masters

I hope this helps! All the best to you!

Teklemuz Ayenew’s Answer

Yes, it's possible to get a scholarship, even though the competition is tough. Universities look at your grades, leadership skills, community service, activities, essays, and recommendation letters. They want to see both your academic strength and who you are as a person. To improve your chances, keep your grades up, apply early, get strong recommendation letters, write honest and clear essays, and meet all the requirements for scholarships and tests like the SAT, ACT, IELTS, TOEFL, or Duolingo. Applying to several universities can increase your chances. If you don't get accepted, don't be discouraged. Use it as a chance to learn, see where you can improve, and try again. Programs like the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program offer fully funded opportunities for African students, and the Chevening Scholarships and Schlumberger Foundation’s fellowship are great for postgraduate studies. Attending education fairs and meeting professionals can also help. Scholarship committees want well-rounded individuals who excel academically and can make a positive impact. With good preparation, persistence, and smart applications, getting a fully funded scholarship is within reach.
