This comes a day after the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) announced a new scholarship programme for highly qualified graduates from Kenya and other countries seeking to pursue a Master's degree in STEM fields at universities in Germany.
In a statement on Tuesday, June 9, the German Embassy in Kenya said the scholarship will support successful applicants by providing funding for tuition-free programmes and a range of additional benefits.
DAAD said the initiative is designed to help talented students advance their academic and professional careers in innovation-driven disciplines.
"The scholarship programme is aimed at high-achieving students from developing and emerging countries who would like to complete a Master’s degree in the STEM subjects at a German university.
"The scholarship offers the opportunity to continue their academic and professional career in innovation-driving STEM fields in Germany with a Master’s degree in mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and engineering," the statement read.
According to the programme guidelines, applicants must have completed a first university degree recognised in Germany, such as a Bachelor's degree, by the application deadline.
However, candidates who already hold a Master's degree by the application deadline are not eligible to apply.
The funding is available for full-time, on-campus Master's degree programmes at state or state-recognised universities in Germany.
Eligible courses must fall within the STEM disciplines of mathematics, computer science, natural sciences or engineering.
DAAD noted that interdisciplinary programmes may qualify if they have a clearly defined STEM focus.
However, study programmes that include integrated periods of study outside Germany are excluded from the scholarship.
Successful applicants will receive a monthly scholarship payment of €992, alongside health, accident and personal liability insurance coverage.
They may also qualify for a travel allowance upon application and an annual study allowance worth €460.
Additional support may be available after funding begins, including a monthly rent subsidy and financial assistance for accompanying family members.
The programme also includes provisions for students with disabilities or chronic illnesses.
Eligible scholars may apply for subsidies to cover justified additional costs incurred during their stay in Germany that are not covered by third parties.
