Scholarships are only available when the HOST university (where you will study) is different from the HOME university (where you are studying or you have studied).
The GREEN-STEM project, which is part of the Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme, is a cross-regional mobility cooperation by a consortium made of the University of Nairobi (Kenya), the University of Lagos (Nigeria), the University of Rwanda (Rwanda), the University of Witwatersrand (South Africa) and, in Europe, the University of Paris Science et Lettres (France). It addresses the serious challenges faced by most African countries such as: Low development, Under-capacity and inadequate Higher Education systems, Youth unemployment lack of human capacities and Sensitivity to their carbonized economies.
