The Equity Group Foundation has launched a scholarship scheme offering 1,200 fully funded places for young Kenyans to pursue technical and vocational training in food and agriculture for the 2027 intake.

The programme, called Wings to Fly Promotion of Young People Through TVET Scholarships, targets Kenyan citizens aged 18 to 35 who have secured admission to one of the 51 participating TVET institutions.

Applicants must enrol in an approved Level 5 Certificate or Level 6 Diploma course in the food and agriculture sector, with training start dates in January, May or September 2027.

The scholarship covers tuition, admission, learning materials, examination fees, accommodation, meals and a stipend, and also provides mentorship, financial‑literacy training and industry exposure.

Women, persons with disabilities and candidates from vulnerable or marginalised communities are especially encouraged to apply.

The scheme is implemented by Equity Group Foundation in partnership with the Ministry of Education’s State Department for TVET and is funded by the German Government through KfW Development Bank.

Applications can be submitted either by downloading a paper form from the foundation’s website and delivering it to the nearest Equity Bank branch, or via an online portal at https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/J4tfd7ZxBm.

The deadline for all applications is 4:30 pm on Wednesday, 18 November 2026.

Prospective applicants are advised to review the full set of requirements and ensure their forms are submitted before the cut‑off time.
