Updated 29 October 2026. This guide reviews an official scholarship opportunity and explains important steps for prospective applicants from Kenya. The university is the final authority on selection and funding.
What is available?
Applications opened 15 October 2026 and close 15 January 2027 at 23:59 CET.
One scholarship is listed. It includes a full tuition waiver, with a €140 annual administration fee, and a €4,000 allowance for the entire programme. It should not be described as sufficient to cover every living cost.
Kenyan nationals living in Kenya at the time of application are eligible to be considered, provided they meet the programme and academic requirements. Applicants must choose an eligible master’s programme; bridging and distance-learning programmes do not qualify.
Applicants must complete the eligible degree application including the scholarship candidacy annex and separately register their scholarship candidacy before the deadline. English-language testing rules and academic results matter.
What Kenyan applicants should know
Kenyan applicants should compare the €4,000 allowance against housing, food, visa, transport and other expenses. The allowance is not an annual stipend. Prepare transcripts, language evidence and a specific explanation of academic and community impact.
How to check and apply
Read the university’s official scholarship notice and application instructions. Check the programme’s admissions requirements, confirm the current deadline in the institution’s time zone, prepare your documents and apply directly via the university’s designated portal. Scholarship selection is not guaranteed; JobScholarship.com is not the awarding institution.

Before paying or sharing documents
Use the official university domain and verify any fees through the university itself. Do not pay an intermediary claiming to guarantee admission, scholarships or a visa. Compare the scholarship award against tuition and living expenses because coverage differs by award.
