Question:
Can a Ugandan qualify for a scholarship?
Answer:
Yes, a Ugandan is eligible to apply for and receive a scholarship. Like any other student, they must meet the qualifications required by the scholarship provider in order to be considered.
When it comes to international scholarships, there are many opportunities available specifically designed for students from Uganda. According to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Uganda has benefited greatly from foreign donors investing in both direct financial support as well as technical assistance in areas such as training and capacity building of human resources.
For instance, in December 2019, the government of Denmark funded $4 million through their embassy in Kampala for various education programs including scholarships for higher educational degrees. This was done with the intention of helping achieve tangible progress towards quality primary and secondary education that will ultimately contribute toward Uganda’s economic development goals.
Scholarships provided by universities abroad also make it possible for citizens of Uganda to access valuable international academic experiences without worrying about financial constraints which would otherwise limit their options. For example, Makerere University offers an International Undergraduate Scholarship every year at its Kampala campus which covers tuition fees up to full coverage depending on how much a student wishes to pay each semester or year depending on what course they are studying and when they apply – usually around April/May each year according to their website www(dot)mak(dot)ac(dot)ug/scholar/.
Uganda also benefits from regional initiatives such as The African Union Kwame Nkrumah Scholarship Scheme which began in 2016 designed specifically established with funding from member states of the African Union (AU) Commission aimed at providing support services including access to graduate level study opportunities within Africa or abroad free-of-charge across key disciplines relevant towards AU’s Agenda 2063 – ‘The Africa Developed’ vision focusing on infrastructure sharing multinational projects like science & technology working together against security threats among others identified according its website http://www.(au).int/en/kwame_nkrumah_scholarship_scheme/. Furthermore, organizations such as Scholarships4Development provide considerable advice regarding international scholarships and grants available primarily focusing on developing countries plus information about application procedures for degree studies worldwide too – http:www.(sc4dev).org/. In addition there are opportunities under certain NGOs; private sector bodies; United Nations organisations; bilateral cooperation agreements between governments and intergovernmental bodies etc., all offering different types of potential aid schemes applicable towards Ugandans seeking assistance with pursuing educational ambitions outside home country borders though proper research needs undertaking since individual eligibility criteria vary considerably based upon how funders wish award allocations allocated accordingly obviously so always best resorting directly going source firstly then perhaps alternative third party outlets if nothing apparent turn out worth taking further into consideration etc..
For me l am almost tired because l have tried many times but no successfull scholarship got am an international student from Uganda.
