Germany’s development bank KfW has partnered with Kenya’s Ministry of Education and the Equity Group Foundation to provide financial support for 1,200 Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) scholarships focused on agriculture and food‑related studies.

The scheme is open to Kenyan youth between 18 and 35 years who are enrolled in Level 5 Certificate or Level 6 Diploma programmes in food and agriculture disciplines at any of the 51 accredited TVET institutions nationwide.

Applicants must first secure admission at a participating institution; enrollment is a mandatory condition for scholarship consideration.

To promote inclusive growth, the partners will give priority to women, persons with disabilities and candidates from vulnerable or marginalised communities.

Prospective scholars can submit their applications either physically – by downloading the form from the Equity Group Foundation website, completing it and dropping it at the nearest Equity Bank branch – or digitally via a Microsoft Forms portal.

All applications must be received by 4:30 PM East Africa Time on 18 November 2026; late entries will not be entertained.

Organisers encourage candidates and community members to disseminate the opportunity widely so that the next generation can acquire practical skills needed for Kenya’s agribusiness and food sectors.
