About UNICAF

Founded in 2012, UNICAF is an online platform in sub-Saharan Africa that is dedicated to making higher education of international standards accessible to African professionals and young school leavers. UNICAF was founded in 2012, with its name reflecting its origins, having initially evolved from the University of Nicosia, the largest, independent tertiary education institution in Cyprus. While initially focusing solely on Africa, it has been expanding its range to offer scholarships to students worldwide, provided they meet certain eligibility criteria. UNICAF has established a number of branch campuses and information centers in Africa, such as in UNICAF Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, Uganda, Somalia, Zambia, and Malawi. Already more than 12,000 have taken advantage of the UNICAF scholarships and registered to one of the partnership programs. The number of students is estimated to increase to 60,000 by the year 2022. The learning centers are set up to include digital libraries, computer labs, internet, generators and make students less prone to studying in areas with partially inadequate infrastructures. While education in Africa is rising and demand for skilled people also ascends, there are serious challenges to Africans reaching quality Higher Education (HE) levels that are recognized by the world’s employers. The gap in the market needs to be addressed now if the 2040 African labor force is to have global value. Applicants have to meet the general eligibility requirements for the award of a scholarship and additionally, specific academic qualifications must be met in order to qualify for the relevant degree programs. Currently, UNICAF offers a number of undergraduate and postgraduate programs in a number of areas such as business, education, psychology, and LLM Laws.

What You Need to Know About the UNICAF Scholarship for Kenyans

University education in Kenya has come a long way. From the days, in the not so distant past, when you could count on one hand people with degrees in your village, to now, when many of your acquaintances have at least an undergraduate degree. Getting a Master’s Degree is predominantly determined by your financial capacity. A Master’s degree is considered by most people an opportunity to redefine their career paths and gain a competitive advantage in their industry. It is, therefore, a top priority on the list of most professionals, who are determined to get ahead in their careers. Yet, despite being a priority, it remains a distant dream for most, mainly because of the high costs associated with studying for a Master’s degree in local universities. This has been the situation in Kenya until UNICAF came about.
