Kenyans have until Sunday, November 15, to apply for online professional and technical courses offered by the European Business Institute of Luxembourg under a scholarship programme announced by the Kenya African National Union (KANU).
KANU said it is running the initiative in collaboration with the Honorary Consulate of Kenya in Luxembourg, and that it provides 5,000 partial scholarships for learners seeking to advance their education and professional skills. The party announced the opportunity on Friday, urging eligible Kenyans to apply before the deadline.
Each scholarship is valued at €740 (about Sh112,298). The awards are partial and do not constitute full sponsorship, so successful applicants may still be required to meet certain costs associated with their studies.
Courses on offer
The programmes cover leadership and governance, public administration, entrepreneurship, business, technology and innovation. Young people aged 11 to 18 can also apply for specialised robotics training, and separate programmes are available for learners with disabilities.
The courses are offered online, so participants can study remotely without travelling to Luxembourg.
How to apply
Applicants must complete an online registration form and provide the scholarship reference code EBUHC26. Submit applications through the link https://forms.gle/GuuRcEtdwAqxHDc39.
Prospective applicants have been advised to establish the financial obligations attached to their preferred programmes before completing registration. Although the scholarship is advertised at €740, the institute's admissions information indicates that beneficiaries may still be required to pay administrative, assessment and platform maintenance charges. The amount payable by applicants under the arrangement with KANU has not been clearly specified.
The European Business Institute offers online programmes in business, technology and professional development. It says it was approved by Luxembourg's Minister of National Education, Children and Youth in June 2024 to organise continuing professional training courses. It has clarified, however, that the approval does not amount to an assessment of the quality of its programmes or accreditation by Luxembourg's Ministry of Research and Higher Education.
Applicants seeking qualifications for employment, professional advancement or further studies have therefore been encouraged to establish the awarding institution and verify whether the qualification meets recognition requirements in their respective fields.
