Kenya water institute scholarship
KEWI- in partnership with a few corporates offers various scholarships to Kenyan students who wish to pursue careers in water and sanitation-related fields.
These scholarships aim to provide financial support for students who may not have the means to pay for their education in water engineering, water resources management, and related fields.
To qualify for a KEWI scholarship, applicants must meet the institution’s academic requirements, demonstrate financial need, and commit to working in the water and sanitation sector in Kenya upon graduation.
Applicants must also pass an interview and selection process.
Keep in mind that the scholarship is not always open so you need to keep your eyes on the main KEWI’s website (and not Kenya water institute student portal) because that’s where scholarship opportunities are announced immediately they become available.
