Starting with an outlay of $500,000, this program will benefit 10 undergraduate students, for their entire course duration of four years.

Recipients of this scholarship will be known as ‘Airtel Africa Fellows’. They will receive 100 percent of their college fees i.e. $12,000 as per the course fee structure of the Institute for a 4-year program.

Additionally, to cover the living expense cost, $500 will be given to all eligible students. This initiative will aspire to transform, shape lives and nurture future leaders who will contribute to technological innovation and economic growth of Africa.

Commenting on the fellowship scheme, Zanzibar’s minister of Education and Vocational Training, H.E. Ms Lela Mohamed Mussa said, “IITM Zanzibar is charting a wonderful path in technical education in the region. Providing access to this high quality education to students from Tanzania and the rest of the continent, who are topping the IITM Zanzibar screening and test processes, through financial assistance, is an important priority for us. We are thankful to this support from Airtel Africa Foundation, which will enhance our own efforts in this direction.”
