Not sure how many people here know about this, but there's a site that has a pretty solid scholarship listing for Kenyans looking to study outside the country.

Covering 36 countries, so it's not just the usual US/UK options. You can browse by destination and filter down to what's relevant for you.

Hope it helps someone out there grinding applications right now.

For those of us who are tired of this hellhole and need a fresh start, the easiest way out is via the student visa route or going abroad as a student. Most people are stuck because they feel that the process is expensive, time-consuming or even hectic. But it shouldn't be that way, especially when Kasongo is shafting us sans lube.

Quick breakdown of what actually works when hunting for study abroad funding and/or scholarships:

1. Start with country-specific scholarships, not just generic ones. Government-funded schemes (DAAD for Germany, Chevening for the UK, etc.) are more accessible than most people think.

2. Apply early. Most deadlines are 6-12 months before intake. Schwarzman Scholars, for example has a September 2026 deadline. Start early if you want to be in China next year.

3. Use aggregator tools to find options you'd miss on your own. Some scholarships are hidden in plain sight.

On point 3, there is a free scholarship database built specifically for Kenyan students: https://zulapath.com/scholarships. It covers 36 countries and is worth bookmarking.
