Will I be able to get scholarship to study in my country kenya?

Answer:

Yes — you can definitely find scholarships to study within Kenya, not only abroad. Many students overlook local opportunities, but they do exist. Here are some realistic paths for you:

1. Government of Kenya Scholarships

• The Kenyan government, through the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) and other ministries, offers funding, bursaries, and scholarships for undergraduate and postgraduate students.
• These are usually based on financial need and academic merit.

2. University-Based Scholarships

• Many universities in Kenya (like University of Nairobi, Kenyatta University, Strathmore University, Mount Kenya University, Daystar University, etc.) offer partial or full scholarships for top students, students with financial difficulties, or those excelling in sports and leadership.

3. NGO and Private Scholarships

• NGOs, religious organizations, and private foundations also sponsor Kenyan students. Some focus on fields like medicine, agriculture, business, or community development.
• Examples include scholarships from Equity Group Foundation, MasterCard Foundation, and church-based programs.

4. County and Constituency Bursaries

• Some counties and constituencies in Kenya provide bursaries to support students from their regions. These are often easier to access since they are local.

✅ So, yes — you can get a scholarship in Kenya if you apply through the right channel. The key is to:

• Check with your university’s financial aid office.
• Apply early for government programs (like HELB).
• Approach NGOs and private foundations.
