19 Italian universities have announced scholarship opportunities for a specific group of students in Kenya.
In a statement shared by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Kenya on Monday, March 18, the scholarship opportunities target refugee students living in Kenya.
The students will receive financial support for plane tickets and visa-related expenses, as well as a study grant to help them during their stay in Italy.
The students will be selected to begin degree courses in September 2024, and will be exempt from tuition fees at the universities participating in the programme, UNHCR stated.

It aims to increase opportunities for refugees currently residing in Kenya, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe to continue their higher education in Italy,” it added.
