Dodoma. A total of 1,050 students have qualified for direct sponsorship under the Samia Scholarship Programme for undergraduate studies, with 50 set to study abroad and 1,000 expected to join local universities.
The scholarship is voluntary, meaning successful applicants will be required to confirm acceptance by filling in designated forms. Those selected for studies abroad will first undergo a 10-month preparatory programme at the Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology (NM-AIST) in Arusha.
Speaking to journalists yesterday, Education, Science and Technology Minister Prof Adolf Mkenda said the scholarship targeted students who performed well in science subjects in Form Six examinations and were ready to pursue priority degree programmes.
