Kenyans can pursue online professional and academic training through a scholarship initiative offering 5,000 partial scholarships in partnership with the European Business Institute of Luxembourg.
The Kenya African National Union (KANU) announced the initiative on November 13, in collaboration with the Honorary Consulate of the Republic of Kenya in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
“KANU, in partnership with the Honorary Consulate of the Republic of Kenya in Luxembourg, is pleased to share an opportunity for Kenyans to access 5,000 partial scholarships for online courses offered by the European Business Institute of Luxembourg,” part of the announcement read.
According to KANU, the opportunities will enable Kenyans to enrol in online courses valued at €740 each, equivalent to approximately KSh 112,298 ahead of the November 15 deadline.
The scholarship programme covers several disciplines, including leadership and governance, public administration, entrepreneurship, business, technology and innovation.
Further, the initiative also extends beyond conventional professional training by including specialised programmes for learners with disabilities.
According to the European Business Institute of Luxembourg, the scholarship initiative offers a robotics programme designed for young people aged 11 to 18 as part of EBU’s Certificate Programme initiative.
“There are also programmes for learners with disabilities and a Robotics programme for young people aged 11–18,” KANU stated.
However, the party emphasised that the scholarship funding is partial and applicants should cover the remaining costs before enrolling.
