The Slovak Republic has announced four government-sponsored scholarships for Kenyan students for the 2025/2026 academic year.
According to a notice published in the MyGov newspaper on Tuesday, April 8, the scholarships were offered through the Slovak Embassy in Nairobi in partnership with Kenya’s Ministry of Education.
“The Government of Kenya has received four (4) scholarships for Bachelor’s leading to Master’s degree studies for the Academic Year 2025/2026 from the Government of the Slovak Republic,” the notice read.
