Important Timelines: <\/strong><\/p>\n CALL OPEN:<\/a> August 2nd, 2023 <\/strong><\/p>\n CALL CLOSES: August 23rd, 2023 not later than 17:00 hours, East African Time.<\/strong><\/p>\n SELECTION AND ANNOUNCEMENT: August 30th, 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n Eligibility: Nationals of the EAC Partner states (Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda).<\/p>\n Duration of the Scholarship: Depending on the selected University program for the Masters\u2019s or Doctoral<\/a>.<\/p>\n 1. BACKGROUND \uf062 higher education in the EAC region has been high on the agenda. Over the years, IUCEA has implemented some strategies and operations on academic mobility to facilitate student and staff<\/a> mobility to promote regional integration. The students\u2019 mobility programme including scholarships has attracted several initiatives, namely uniform fees for EAC citizen students to be charged in EAC countries\u2019 host universities, and scholarship programmes for undergraduate and postgraduate students<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Students Mobility programme in East Africa<\/a> was first facilitated in the form of an exchange programme between Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda through the University of East Africa established in 1963 and it continued until 2004. Following the above rich history of regional students\u2019 mobility and scholarship<\/a> programme, and the resolutions of the IUCEA Annual Meeting held in Kigali in<\/p>\n 2019, IUCEA started the process to revive the East African Community Students Mobility program<\/a>. Compared to the high demand for scholarships and the limited available<\/a> opportunities, the 10th IUCEA Annual meeting held in June 2019 in Kigali, Rwanda, encouraged IUCEA member universities to provide at least 1 slot for students from the EAC Partner States other than their own.\u00a0 Hence many<\/p>\n Universities committed to offering scholarships<\/a> by waiving Tuition and examination fees, while IUCEA will provide traveling expenses and Health Insurance, and the remaining cost will be on the side of the parents\/ guardians\/self. (See the responsibility of each party at the end of the call)<\/p>\n The postgraduate scholarship<\/a> supports Master\u2019s and Ph. D\u2019 students in the selected programs (Table 1).<\/p>\n The students are required to apply<\/a> to study in another EAC country (not their country of origin\/citizenship).<\/p>\n 2.
