Pan-African Scholars Initiative
International students face a world of challenges when pursuing higher education in the U.S., including language barriers, financial stress, complicated documentation, and a lack of community.
Empowering international students to stick with their dreams and helping them through the process requires sharing resources, knowledge, and networks that can make their transition easier so they can focus on academic excellence and professional development.
This scholarship seeks to provide financial assistance and other support to international students as they pursue their academic goals.
Any high school or undergraduate student who is a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) major and an international student may apply for this scholarship opportunity, but applicants from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Rwanda are preferred.
To apply, tell us about your background, your experiences as an international student, and why pursuing a college degree is important for you.
Please tell us about your background, particularly as it pertains to your experiences as an international student. With multiple ways to earn a living (including but not limited to social media), why is it important for you to pursue a degree?
