These cover the main needs so students can succeed without money worries.
Female refugees in Uganda or Kenya can apply if they come from Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, or Somaliland. They must already have applied for admission to a graduate course in Education at one of these universities. Proof of the application is needed. An excellent first degree is required, at least a British upper second (2:1) or equal. Applicants must meet the university’s entry rules if they are higher. They need to study well in the language used for classes. Plus, they should have at least two years of professional or volunteer work in a related field after their undergraduate degree. They can apply before finishing those two years, but university placement waits until then.
