The Kenyan Embassy in Australia has announced a new scholarship opportunity for Kenyan students following a recent agreement with Stanley International College in Perth.

In a statement released on Monday, November 11, the Embassy revealed that the scholarship will cover two degree programs: Bachelor of Community Service and Bachelor of Information and Communication Technology.

To qualify, applicants must have achieved a minimum grade of B in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) and meet an English language proficiency requirement of an IELTS score of 6.5, with no band below 6.0. Preference will be given to applicants who are residents of Kenya at the time of applying.

“Achieve English Proficiency test results with a satisfactory score of IELTS 6.5 with no band lower than 6.0, or equivalent and the applicant should preferably be resident in Kenya at the time of application,” read the notice in part.

The scholarship covers 100% of tuition costs, with an additional benefit of a waived enrollment fee of AUD 230. However, applicants related to employees of the High Commission are ineligible, and recipients are expected to maintain continuous enrollment without breaks.

Application Process

Eligible students can download the application form from the High Commission’s website at www.kenya.asn.au and submit completed applications via email to [email protected].

The deadline for applications is set for Friday, December 6, 2024.

“The scholarship awarded will be 100% of the course tuition fee and the Enrolment fee of AU 230 will be waived. The scholarship recipient must not be a relative of any High Commission employees,” read the notice in part.

“The recipient must enrol and study continuously without a break from their study. Only Shortlisted and successful candidates will be contacted.”
