Cross-checked 3 of 4 key facts

Confirmed Our best read Not stated

Good to know

  • +Eligibility read at source and unusually concrete: aged 14 to 28, citizen of Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda or Zambia, studying vocational education in your own country
  • +The amount is a real number with the mechanics spelled out: maximum EUR 500 per student per academic year, paid in local currency directly to the school
  • +Squarely serves first-generation and underrepresented applicants, naming young people with a disability, orphans, street children and young people from slums
  • +Required documents are enumerated on the form itself
  • +A small but genuinely transparent funder, with published policy plans and annual reports back to 2001

Worth checking yourself

  • !The closing date could not be confirmed on the organisation's own pages. This listing shows no deadline, which does not mean applications are open indefinitely. Check the official page before you plan around it.
  • !Applications open only in May (diploma and bachelor level) and only in October (certificate, craft and vocational level). As of late August 2026 the May window has passed and the next is October 2026, certificate level only
  • !The foundation covers tuition only: maximum EUR 500 against study costs that may not exceed EUR 600 per year, with no living, travel or materials support
  • !No closing day is published on either of the foundation's domains, so an applicant cannot know whether a submission on 28 October is in time
  • !Highly competitive: a maximum of 10 scholarships per country per year against a total annual budget of EUR 18,000
  • !Applying means downloading a Word document and emailing it, which is a real barrier on a phone-only connection
  • !Two-step process, so the real turnaround is longer than the single window suggests
