Interested candidates are encouraged to visit the Ministry’s official website; www.education.go.ke, to access detailed information about the application process, eligibility criteria, and required documents. The scholarships are tenable at recognized Hungarian universities and are awarded based on academic merit and eligibility.
This announcement has been welcomed across Kenya, especially in regions where access to international study opportunities is limited. The scholarship programme is seen as a valuable chance for talented but financially disadvantaged students to further their education abroad.
In support of the initiative, Baring North Member of Parliament Joseph Makilap urged young Kenyans to seize the opportunity.
“This is a golden chance for our youth to advance their education fully funded. I encourage all eligible students to apply and give it their best. Opportunities like this can truly change lives and our country’s future,” said MP Makilap.
With the deadline approaching, education stakeholders expect a high volume of applications from motivated students across the country eager to pursue their academic dreams in Hungary.
