In a statement, the government noted that it had received a deal from its Slovakian counterpart for Kenyans willing to study abroad for the 2023/24 academic year.
Apart from tuition fees, the Ministry added that the beneficiaries will also get accommodation allowance and other allowances to help them manage their stay in the Central European country.
In regard to the courses, applicants were informed that they had an opportunity to study one of the 25 programmes advertised including Teaching, Economics and Management, Agriculture, Wood Science, and Forestry among others.
Public Health, Nursing, Mechanical and Civil Engineering, Food Sciences, Transport and Computer Science degree programmes were also included.
Nonetheless, it was noted that the applicants only needed to purchase an air ticket to the European country.
“The scholarship covers tuition fees, accommodation expenses and subsistence allowances for the whole duration of studies. The studies will be conducted in the Slovak language following the first year of intensive language preparation,” read the notice in part.
