Private Scholarship Offers

For the first four cohorts of the EMoS programme, CENIT@EA provided scholarships for students. From the 5th and next cohort onwards, these kind of scholarships will no longer be available as per the joint project plan. CENIT@EA is moving towards ever stronger local ownership and the development of financial support is part of this move.

There are a multitude of alternative scholarships available to students who want to take up a Master's programme in Tanzania. Below, we have gathered a selection of fitting offers. Please check the details of each scholarship programme to see whether you are eligible for funding.

Please check with the scholarship provider whether you are eligible to apply for studies at NM-AIST in Tanzania.
